Self-reference Effect and Insight in Schizophrenia Patients / 中国临床心理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between insight and self of schizophrenia patients by paradigm of self-reference effect(SRE).Methods:16 schizophrenia patients with insight, 16 schizophrenia patients without insight and 16 normal controls matched with age and education degree were measured by SRE, and the results were analyzed.Results:SRE was shown in normal controls, and R performance on Self task was better than on other two tasks(P0.05).This means that SRE was not demonstrated in schizophrenia patients.There were significant differences between patients without insight and normal controls in R performance(P0.05).Conclusion:The profile of the results indicates that self-disturbance is shown in schizophrenia.There is no obviously correlation between insight and self-reference effect in schizophrenia patients.
