Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Patients with schizophrenia often exhibit poor life skills, posing significant clinical challenges. Life skills comprise cognitive functions crucial for planning daily activities, including divergent thinking. However, the cognitive deficits contributing to these diminished skills among patients with schizophrenia are underexplored. This study introduces a modified Tinkertoy Test (m-TTT) to investigate the correlation between life skills, divergent thinking, and psychological assessment tools in patients with schizophrenia.
UNASSIGNED: Fifty-two patients with schizophrenia, alongside a control group, matched for sex, age, and education, were evaluated using psychological assessment tools. For the patient group, the Life Skills Profile (LSP) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale were administered to measure functional abilities and psychiatric symptoms, respectively. Additionally, duration of disease and antipsychotic daily dosage levels were assessed exclusively in the patient group. Both groups were evaluated with the m-TTT, Idea Fluency Test (IFT), Design Fluency Test (DFT), and Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) to comprehensively assess cognitive functions. A stepwise multiple regression model was conducted to identify significant correlates of LSP total score among the patient group.
UNASSIGNED: The schizophrenia group scored notably lower than the neurotypical controls on the m-TTT, IFT, DFT, and BACS. Our stepwise multiple regression analysis highlighted that the LSP total score was significantly correlated with the total m-TTT score and presence of negative symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: Divergent thinking could be a crucial factor in the life skills of individuals with schizophrenia. Rehabilitation programs based on this cognitive function might enhance their daily living capabilities.

摘要：
■精神分裂症患者通常表现出较差的生活技能，带来了重大的临床挑战。生活技能包括对规划日常活动至关重要的认知功能，包括发散思维。然而,导致精神分裂症患者这些技能下降的认知缺陷研究不足.本研究引入了改良的Tinkertoy测试（m-TTT）来调查生活技能之间的相关性，发散思维，和精神分裂症患者的心理评估工具。
■52名精神分裂症患者，和一个对照组一起，匹配性别，年龄,和教育，使用心理评估工具进行评估。对于患者组来说，生活技能简介（LSP）和阳性和阴性综合征量表用于测量功能能力和精神症状，分别。此外,仅在患者组中评估疾病持续时间和抗精神病药物每日剂量水平.两组均采用m-TTT,想法流畅度测试(IFT),设计流畅度测试(DFT),和简要评估精神分裂症的认知（BACS），以全面评估认知功能。进行逐步多元回归模型以识别患者组中LSP总评分的显著相关性。
■精神分裂症组的m-TTT评分明显低于神经典型对照组，IFT,DFT,和BACS。我们的逐步多元回归分析强调，LSP总分与m-TTT总分和阴性症状的存在显着相关。
■分歧思维可能是精神分裂症患者生活技能的关键因素。基于这种认知功能的康复计划可能会增强他们的日常生活能力。
