AB  - INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between 
      social functioning and clinical symptoms in people with schizophrenia, analyzing 
      the influence of both global social functioning and the specific aspects of 
      social functioning, assertiveness and communication skills in the explanation of 
      type of symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study 
      composed of 125 people diagnosed with schizophrenia was performed. Patients were 
      assessed with the Communication Skills Questionnaire (CSQ), the Gambrill and 
      Richey Assertiveness Inventory (GR), the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale 
      (GAF) and the Global Assessment of Social Functioning Scale (SOFAS), Social 
      Functioning Scale (SFS), Life Skills Profile (LSP) scale and the Clinical Global 
      Impression scale for Schizophrenia (CGI-S). RESULTS: SOFAS, LSP and GR are 
      related to each of the subscales and total scores of symptoms (p<0.05-0.001). The 
      multiple regressions show that SOFAS and GR explained 59% of the total symptoms. 
      SOFAS and GR, accounting for 65% of the variance, explain positive symptoms. GR 
      and SOFAS explained 34% of the variance of negative symptoms. SOFAS, CSQ and LSP, 
      accounting for 20% of the variance, explain depressive symptoms. SOFAS explained 
      46% of the variance of cognitive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest the 
      usefulness of social functioning assessment in the explanation of clinical 
      symptoms in people with schizophrenia. Moreover, our results point out that not 
      only negative and cognitive symptoms, but also positive and depressive symptoms, 
      should be taken into account in the rehabilitation process in order to improve 
      patient adaptation in the community.
