Abstract
This study examined differences between 28 healthy controls and 16 BDD participants on 3 social cognitive tasks and domains of interpersonal functioning. BDD individuals demonstrated impaired interpersonal functioning, performed equally well on an emotion and identity recognition task and performed better than controls on a complex emotion recognition task.
