- Abstract
- Social cognition research in severe alcohol use disorder (SAUD) holds promise for understanding patients’ interpersonal problems and more. In this thesis, we aimed at addressing current limitations of the field by 1) extending its scope toward previously uninvestigated social cognition components and 2) examining basic social information processing alterations that could constitute relevant mechanisms. Our findings suggest that social cognition difficulties associated with SAUD are broader than previously documented, and further point to precise and potentially malleable alterations in attention and memory for social information that may subtend some of these difficulties. In sum, this thesis offers a more comprehensive understanding of the range and nature of SAUD-related social cognition alterations, as well as a preliminary mechanistic model that may serve as a useful basis for future research. We discuss implications for conceptual frameworks of SAUD and clinical practice.
