AB  - BACKGROUND: Although some studies reported specifically self-face processing 
      deficits in patients with schizophrenia disorder (SZ), it remains unclear whether 
      these deficits rather reflect a more global face processing deficit. 
      Contradictory results are probably due to the different methodologies employed 
      and the lack of control of other confounding factors. Moreover, no study has so 
      far evaluated possible daily life self-face recognition difficulties in SZ. 
      Therefore, our primary objective was to investigate self-face recognition in 
      patients suffering from SZ compared to healthy controls (HC) using an "objective 
      measure" (reaction time and accuracy) and a "subjective measure" (self-report of 
      daily self-face recognition difficulties). METHOD: Twenty-four patients with SZ 
      and 23 HC performed a self-face recognition task and completed a questionnaire 
      evaluating daily difficulties in self-face recognition. Recognition task material 
      consisted in three different faces (the own, a famous and an unknown) being 
      morphed in steps of 20%. RESULTS: Results showed that SZ were overall slower than 
      HC regardless of the face identity, but less accurate only for the faces 
      containing 60%-40% morphing. Moreover, SZ and HC reported a similar amount of 
      daily problems with self/other face recognition. No significant correlations were 
      found between objective and subjective measures (p > 0.05). LIMITATIONS: The 
      small sample size and relatively mild severity of psychopathology does not allow 
      us to generalize our results. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that: (1) 
      patients with SZ are as capable of recognizing their own face as HC, although 
      they are susceptible to ambiguity; (2) there are far less self recognition 
      deficits in schizophrenia patients than previously postulated.
