Keywords:executive functions, psychiatric patients, normal people

This study was designed to compare the executive functions of psychiatric patients with those of normal people by the Executive Functions Questionnaire (EFQ). We conducted the EFQ to psychiatric (schizophrenia, depression, type two bipolar disorder, schizoaffective psychosis, generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder) patients. Comparison of the schizophrenic patients (N=13), depressive patients (N=15) and normal people (N=71, Sekiguchi & Yamada, 217) matched by the age (23-68) revealed as follows. 1) The psychiatric patients showed lower executive functions (shifting, efficacy, planning, and sustaining-attention) than those of normal people. 2) The schizophrenic patients showed lower absorption. 3) The depressive patients showed higher self-consciousness. It was suggested that executive functions of psychiatric patients are different from those of normal people.
