This study aims to explore the differences in emotion processing and regulation in individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis compared to healthy controls (HC). The research utilizes functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to investigate brain activation patterns during emotion processing and reappraisal tasks.
The introduction provides a background on schizophrenia and its prodromal phase, highlighting the importance of early intervention. It emphasizes the significant impact of emotional dysfunctions on individuals with schizophrenia, affecting their social, educational, and occupational lives.
The chapter on emotion processing discusses the hallmark characteristics of schizophrenia, including hypersensitivity to emotional events and reduced overt expression of emotion. It explores the concept of alexithymia and its connection to emotional processing difficulties. The chapter highlights the link between abnormal emotion processing, social cognition, and executive functions, suggesting their role in various symptoms of schizophrenia.
The section on emotion regulation defines the concept and distinguishes between antecedent-focused and response-focused strategies. It emphasizes the importance of reappraisal as a cost-efficient antecedent-focused strategy used in everyday life. The chapter explores the benefits of reappraisal and its potential impact on social interaction and personal well-being.
The study focuses on the key areas of schizophrenia, at-risk populations, emotion processing, reappraisal, and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). It delves into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotion regulation in individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis.
