Abstract
The aim of the present research was to determine the relationship of meta-emotion dimensions and positive and negative symptoms in the patients with chronic schizophrenia. This research is a correlation study. The statistical sample of the current research includes 100 patients with chronic schizophrenia. To collect the data, Meta-Emotion Questionnaire, Positive, and Negative Symptoms Schizophrenia Scale were used. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed meta-emotion with positive and negative symptoms. These results suggest that the meta-emotion of chronic schizophrenia patients may well be of important prognostic value in the intensity of symptom logy, prevention and planning of cognitive enhancement therapy.
