Abstract :
The aim of the current study was to replicate
the finding that cognitive impairments are not or
inversely associated with sensitivity to stress in a
sample of 25 patients diagnosed with psychotic disorder.
The results indicated that impairments in performance
on the Trailmaking Test and the Stroop Color
Word Test were inversely associated with sensitivity to
stress in daily life, whereas impairment in a subtest of
the Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome
(BADS) was not associated with stress-sensitivity. The
data thus show that in some instances cognitive functioning
is not, and in other instances is inversely associated
with momentary sensitivity to stress. Cognitive
impairment and affective reactivity thus appear to be
independent or mutually exclusive mechanisms in
psychosis, suggesting competing causal pathways
