AB  - The purpose of the present study was to investigate the ability to perceive 
      facial and vocal affect in a group of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder 
      (OCD) and to explore the specific emotions that might be troublesome for them. 
      Participants were 25 patients with OCD and 25 healthy controls, matched for age, 
      education, and gender. They were assessed with computerized tests of affect 
      perception using visual faces [Kinney's Affect Matching Test (KAMT)], visual 
      everyday scenarios [Fantie's Cartoon Test (FCT)], and prosody [Affective Prosody 
      Test (APT)], as well as a facial recognition test [Kinney's Identity Matching 
      Test (KIMT)]. Severity of OCD symptoms in the patient group was measured with the 
      Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. Patients with OCD were not impaired in the 
      perception of emotion, in either the visual [still photographs (KAMT) or sketches 
      of everyday scenarios (FCT)] or the vocal (APT) modality, as compared with age-, 
      sex-, and education-matched healthy individuals. Moreover, patients with OCD did 
      not differ from healthy individuals in discriminating facial identity (KIMT). 
      With regard to each emotion type separately, patients performed equally well as 
      healthy individuals in all the emotions examined. Emotion processing of both 
      facial expressions and prosody does not appear to be deficient in patients with 
      OCD (JINS, 2009, 15, 148-153).
