AB Background: Facial emotion recognition is impaired in addiction and personalitydisorders. Dysfunctional personality beliefs reflect negative interpersonal schemas thatmay underpin emotion recognition deficits. We aimed to examine the association betweenpersonality beliefs and emotion recognition among participants with cocaine use disorderincluding those with comorbid personality disorders.Methods: We recruited 70 participants with cocaine use disorder aged between 19 and52 who had used 14 g of cocaine over 4.8 years on average. Thirty-eight participants hadan additional personality disorder (11 Borderline, 7 Histrionic, 5 Antisocial, 10 Avoidant,and 5 Obsessive–Compulsive). Dysfunctional beliefs were indicated with the PersonalityBelief Questionnaire, and facial emotion recognition was indicated with the Ekman’s Test.We applied correlations/multiple regressions to test the relationship between beliefs andemotion recognition.Results: Personality beliefs reflecting paranoid, borderline, and antisocial schemaswere negatively associated with emotion recognition. Antisocial beliefs were associatedwith poorer recognition of fear, and paranoid beliefs with poorer recognition of disgust.Antisocial beliefs were significantly associated with emotion recognition after adjusting forcocaine use.Conclusion: Dysfunctional personality beliefs are associated with poorer emotionrecognition in cocaine addiction. Personality-related negative schemas about the self andothers can impact social cognition and interaction during cocaine treatment.
