Figure 3. Behavioral Model of Diagnosis, Gaze Perception, and Latent Social Cognition.

Figure 3

Note. MSCEIT = Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test, RME = Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, ER-40 = Penn Emotion Recognition Test. The model depicts associations among diagnostic group, gaze perception metrics, and social cognition. Factor loadings for a social cognition latent factor (SCog) are shown on the right, as well as a method factor for the MSCEIT branch scores. Better social cognition was associated with greater perceptual precision. SZ showed worse social cognition, lower perceptual precision, and greater self-referential bias. *p < .05.
