Sammanfattning
Background:The impairments in metacognitive functions and emotion recognition are considered asliable factors in anxiety disorders.Aims:The better understanding of these cognitive abilities might lead to develop more accurate treat-ment methods for patients who suffer from anxiety.Methods:Forty-four patients with panic disorder (PD), 37 individuals with generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) and 44 healthy control (HC) were participated in our study. Metacognition questionnaire-30(MCQ-30), Reading The Mind From The Eyes Test and symptom severity tests were administered.Results:Statistical analyses estimated the dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs and disrupted emotionrecognition in patients relative to HC. The‘need to control thoughts’aspect of metacognitive beliefswas accounted for symptom severity in GAD. Improper metacognitive beliefs were significantly pre-dicted the PD and GAD. In addition, impoverished emotion recognition predicted the GAD.Conclusions:Our study revealed the role of inconvenient metacognitive beliefs and distorted emotionrecognition in PD and GAD. These findings might facilitate the treatment management in cognitivetherapies of anxiety disordersviapointing out more reasonable targets across improper cogni-tive fields.
