This study examined differences between psychiatric patients and a nonpsychiatric group on multiple measures of social perception, social performance, and self-perception. Patients performed more poorly than nonpatients on the PONS measure of decoding nonverbal messages, and although patients did differentiate between skilled and unskilled performance on skill rating task, they did so less than did the nonpatients. Patients demonstrated higher social anxiety and lower social skill than nonpatients on the Simulated Social Interaction Test. Self-ratings of patients were lower than those of nonpatients on both the positive and negative scales of the Social Performance Survey Schedule and on self-judgments of Simulated Social Interaction Test performance. Results are interpreted in terms of the nature of social skill deficits, and implications for social skills training are discussed.
