Abstract Details

2023, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
Successfully navigating the social world requires people to make accurate predictions about others. Individual differences in emotion prediction, or the ability to predict someone’s subsequent emotion given their current emotional state, can lead to variability in social success. Two studies examined 1) emotion prediction in schizotypy, 2) the role of emotion prediction in social satisfaction in individuals with schizotypy, and 3) the roles of emotion representation granularity and emotional awareness in emotion prediction abilities in this population. In both studies we found evidence that higher schizotypy was associated with worse emotion prediction. However, we did not find evidence that emotion prediction ability explained the relationship between schizotypy and social satisfaction. We also did not find evidence that emotion granularity or awareness underlie emotion prediction ability. These findings provide initial evidence that emotion prediction ability is disrupted in individuals with schizotypy, though the social consequences of this disruption remain unclear.
