COVID-19 induced social isolation; implications for understanding social cognition in mental health	2020-10-08		.txt	text/plain	801	47	36	Social isolation, loneliness and uncertainty are key risk factors for developing mental health problems and pose a significant concern for the long-term consequences of social distancing (Vatansever, Wang, & Sahakian, 2020) . A fundamental question remains as to whether social cognition deficits are inherent vulnerability markers of mental health problems, whereby people with impaired social cognitive skills have difficulty with forming normal social support networks resulting in withdrawal and loneliness, or whether they are a secondary consequence of prolonged periods of isolation and poor social connections resulting from mental health symptoms. Social distancing measures have presented a unique opportunity to examine the effects of social isolation on people without prior mental health disorders in order to ascertain whether social isolation has a detrimental impact on social cognitive ability. This has important implications for how we interpret social cognitive deficits in mental health disorders and inform the development of appropriate interventions.	./cache/cord-349546-60nsap32.txt	./txt/cord-349546-60nsap32.txt
