Self-rated and performance-based empathy in schizophrenia: The impact of cognitive deficits
TLDR
A double deficit related to empathic responding in schizophrenia is highlighted: diminished performance associated with cognitive deficits and inaccurate self-appraisal of empathic abilities.
How specific are emotional deficits? A comparison of empathic abilities in schizophrenia, bipolar and depressed patients
Generalized deficit in all core components of empathy in schizophrenia
Metacognitive Beliefs, Cognitive Functioning, Psychiatric Symptoms and Empathy in People with Schizophrenia
TLDR
Investigation of the relationship among metacognition, psychiatric symptoms, cognitive functioning and empathy in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia found negative symptoms and cognitive self-consciousness were significant predictors for the pictorial empathy test.
Neural correlates of the core facets of empathy in schizophrenia
Influence of empathetic pain processing on cognition in schizophrenia
TLDR
Although prior studies showed empathy to be impaired, the outcomes indicate that at least some components of empathetic pain processing are preserved in such patients, with possible neuromodulatory mechanism.
Assessment of empathy in first-episode psychosis and meta-analytic comparison with previous studies in schizophrenia
The functional significance of cognitive empathy and theory of mind in early and chronic schizophrenia
Contextual Social Cognition Impairments in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
TLDR
Overall performance on emotion recognition predicted performance on intentionality attribution during the more ambiguous situations of the empathy task, suggesting that social cognition deficits could be related to a general impairment in the capacity to implicitly integrate contextual cues.

TLDR
Schizophrenia patients, unlike autistic individuals, suffer a domain-general difficulty with empathetic perspective-taking that affects equally their appreciation of other people's beliefs, percepts, and emotions.

TLDR
Although cognitive empathy is at least partly reliant on frontal structures, the emotional components of empathy are likely mediated by structures in the temporal lobes.

Social cognition, brain networks and schizophrenia
TLDR
Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies suggest convergence upon specific networks for mindreading and empathy (the temporal cortex, amygdala and the prefrontal cortex) but the frontal lobe is likely to play a central role in enabling social cognition, butMindreading and empathic abilities may require relatively different weighting of subcomponents within the same frontal-temporal social cognition network.
