TI  - The relevance of social anxiety for understanding social functioning and facial 
      emotion recognition in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis.

AB  - AIM: Individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis often experience poor 
      social functioning and impaired facial emotion recognition (FER); however, the 
      impact of frequently comorbid symptoms upon these processes is underexplored. In 
      particular, social anxiety is characteristic of this population and also related 
      to poor social functioning and FER biases, such as misinterpreting neutral faces 
      as negative or threatening; however, little is known about how social anxiety 
      relates to these processes in CHR individuals. The present study examined the 
      overlap of social anxiety, social functioning, and FER accuracy and bias. METHOD: 
      Participants (CHR N = 62, healthy controls N = 52) completed the self-report 
      Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Penn Emotion Recognition-40 (ER-40) 
      behavioural task, and interviewer-rated Global Functioning Scale-Social (GFS-S). 
      The ER-40 was used to assess both FER accuracy (e.g., overall number of correct 
      responses) and bias (e.g., mislabelling neutral faces as angry). RESULTS: 
      Consistent with previous research, relative to controls, CHR participants had 
      more social anxiety (d = -1.07), poorer social functioning (d = -1.62), and 
      performed more poorly on the FER task (e.g., d = -.37). Within CHR participants, 
      social anxiety was related to an anger detection bias (r = .28), above and beyond 
      positive symptom severity, which in turn was related to FER accuracy (r = .26) 
      and social functioning (r = -.28). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that 
      ongoing work examining social processes within CHR individuals needs to account 
      for social anxiety and that social anxiety may be a useful preventive 
      intervention target.
