NCT ID: NCT01267019

Last Updated: 2017-03-15

Results Overview

A standardized measure of emotion processing. It is scored as a standard score with a population mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. It can range from 0 to 200. Higher is better. Note: Two of the study arms (in vivo and social cognitive training) receive identical procedures and produce identical outcome numbers for the first 6 weeks of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 3 months.

A measure of mentalizing (i.e., making inferences about other people). It is scored for accuracy in which higher is better. It ranges from 0 - 64. Note: Two of the study arms (in vivo and social cognitive training) receive identical procedures and produce identical outcome numbers for the first 6 weeks of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 3 months.

A measure of social perception. It is scored as number correct and higher is better. It ranges from 0 - 110. Note: Two of the study arms (in vivo and social cognitive training) receive identical procedures and produce identical outcome numbers for the first 6 weeks of the study.
