Abstract

Aims: Recent research has shown emotion recognition to be impaired in individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for developing a psychotic disorder compared to healthy controls. This longitudinal study aimed to examine whether disturbed emotion recognition measured in UHR participants at baseline predicts transition to a psychotic disorder within 12 months. Methods: Thirty-seven UHR participants aged 13-22 years participated in the study. At baseline participants completed face and prosody emotion recognition tasks, as well as measures of psychopathology, functioning, and IQ. Transition to a psychotic disorder over 12 months was the primary outcome. A series of Cox regressions was performed with emotion recognition as the predictor variable, while controlling for covariates, with time to transition to a psychotic disorder as the dependent variable. Results: Eleven (29.7%) of the 37 participants transitioned to a psychotic disorder over the 12-month follow-up period. Total face or prosody emotion recognition accuracy was not predictive of transition to a psychotic disorder. However, examination of recognition of specific emotions, while controlling for positive, negative and global symptoms and functioning, revealed that accuracy in identifying neutral (p = .037) and fearful (p = .015) emotion predicted transition to a psychotic disorder. Specifically, lower accuracy in identifying neutral emotion and higher accuracy in identifying fearful emotion were predictive of transition to a psychotic disorder within 12 months. Examination of the separate modalities revealed that this finding held for face but not for prosody emotion recognition. Conclusion: These findings suggest that emotion recognition abilities may be prognostic for the development of psychotic disorders, but further studies are needed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B. V.
