This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new blended intervention called iTEST—a combination of a smartphone app and personalized coaching—to help people with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder improve their ability to accurately assess their own performance and abilities. The app includes daily cognitive exercises (like memory and emotion recognition tasks) where you make guesses about how well you did, then get feedback. You'll also have weekly coaching sessions to help you use these skills in real life.
Research shows that people with psychotic disorders often struggle to accurately judge their own abilities, which can make it harder to function in daily life—and there are currently no treatments designed to address this specific problem. Early testing suggests this treatment is helpful, so researchers want to confirm those results in a larger group of people.

You'll participate for 12 weeks, with a follow-up 3 months later. For the first 6 weeks, you'll have one 60-minute coaching session per week (either by video or in person, your choice), then 3 shorter phone calls over the next few weeks. Throughout the 12 weeks, you'll do daily cognitive tasks on a smartphone (about 5 days a week) where you guess how well you performed, and you'll receive feedback on your guesses. Half of participants will get coaching specifically designed to improve self-awareness, while the other half will receive coaching focused on general cognitive tasks—researchers will randomly assign you to one group or the other.
