Convergent validity of a multi-modal assessment of alexithymia and its relationship with an extensive battery of social cognition

This project aims to advance our understanding of the construct alexithymia through two research goals: Firstly, identify the factors underlying multi-modally assessed alexithymia (self-report and interview). Secondly, examine the relation between the factors underlying alexithymia and an extensive battery of social cognition (comprised of the recognition of other people's affective mental states, representation of other people's cognitive mental states, visual perspective-taking, and affective distress of social rejection).
