Clinical Psychology epilepsy social cognition psychosocial functioning affective processing facial affect recognition emotional intelligence The goal of this study was to investigate the social cognitive domains of facial affect processing and emotional intelligence in patients who had undergone anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) for the treatment of medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. It was hypothesized that patients who underwent right ATL would perform more poorly than left ATL patients on measures of facial affect processing and emotional intelligence. Additionally, we expected poorer performance on measures of social cognition to predict poorer psychosocial functioning. Participants were sixteen individuals who had undergone ATL at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. They completed a facial affect processing battery, a performance based emotional intelligence test, neuropsychological measures (memory, attention executive ability, and confrontation naming), and self-report questionnaires of quality of life and psychosocial functioning. Data from 16 participants (8 right ATL; 8 left ATL) were analyzed. Participants with right ATL were less accurate than participants with left ATL in their ability to identify the presence and rate the intensity of emotions in facial expressions. The right ATL group performed more slowly than the left while comparing the relative intensity of emotions depicted in two faces and when rating the intensity of the emotional valance of facial expressions (p < .10 for all comparisons). Despite their slower performance, the right ATL group was significantly more accurate than the left ATL group in their ability to compare the relative intensity of emotions depicted in two faces (p < .10). Poorer ability to rate the relative intensity of emotions depicted in faces and to incorporate one's own emotions into decision making were significantly related to poorer self-reported functioning on multiple domains of quality of life and psychosocial functioning, all p < .05. 2013 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1382373117 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1382373117 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
