    Background: Negative symptoms are core contributors to social deficits in psychosis. However, currently available interventions do not significantly ameliorate negative symptoms or social outcomes in individuals at Clinical High Risk of Psychosis (CHR-P). Given its critical role in human social behaviour and cognition, the oxytocin (OT) system is a promising target for the treatment of social impairments in CHR-P subjects.

    Aim: Negative symptoms and cognition are related with functioning in schizophrenia. However, it is not clear whether they have a similar effect in individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis. In this study, we aimed to explore relationship of negative symptoms with cognition and functioning cross-sectionally in people with UHR for psychosis. Methods: In total, 107 people participated in this study. We assessed negative symptoms with Scale for Negative Symptoms (SANS). We applied a cognitive battery including seven tests. We evaluated functioning by using Global Assessment of Functioning Scale and work/study status as an indicator of role functioning. Results: SANS scores were correlated to global functioning cross-sectionally. SANS total score was correlated to cognitive test scores related to cognitive flexibility and attention. Only Trail Making Test B (TMT B) was negatively correlated to global functioning. SANS-affective blunting and SANS-avolition scores were independently related to global functioning. There was a significant indirect effect of the TMT B and composite attention scores on global functioning through negative symptoms indicating a complete mediation. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that negative symptoms, particularly avolition have an impact on functioning and the association of cognition with functioning was mediated by negative symptoms in UHR. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd
