Abstract

People with schizophrenia (PWS) have impaired social cognition and deficits in empathy. Associations of compassion toward self (CTS) and compassion toward others (CTO) with health and biomarkers in PWS have not been investigated. Our hypotheses for this cross-sectional study of PWS and non-psychiatric comparison (NC) subjects were: 1) PWS have lower CTS and CTO scores. 2) Women have higher CTS and CTO. 3) CTS and CTO are related to mental, cognitive and physical health. We also explored the relationships of CTS and CTO with biomarkers.
