Humans understand and make sense of the social world using social cognition, that is, cognitive processes through which individuals understand, process and remember their interactions with others (Morgan et al., 2017). The term social cognition refers to the mental operations that underlie social interactions, including perceiving, interpreting and generating responses to the intentions, dispositions and behaviours of others (Green et al., 2008). A higher-order level of social cognition is the ability to understand and reason about one’s own and others’ mental and affective states, using this understanding to solve problems and manage subjective suffering, a level termed mentalizing (Bateman & Fonagy, 2012; Choi-Kain & Gunderson, 2008) or metacognition (Semerari & Dimaggio, 2003). The activation of interpersonal motivational systems, as well as relational schema, can influence intersubjectivity and the mental capacities needed to manage life tasks and interpersonal relationships. The impairment of social cognition, as well as dysfunctions of different metacognitive abilities, are recognised as a key feature of several psychopathological conditions.
