Abstract

Background/Objective

Autism has been investigated through traditional emotion recognition paradigms, merely investigating accuracy, thereby constraining how potential differences across autistic and control individuals may be observed, identified, and described. Moreover, the use of emotional facial expression information for social functioning in autism is of relevance to provide a deeper understanding of the condition.

Method

Adult autistic individuals (n = 34) and adult control individuals (n = 34) were assessed with a social perception behavioral paradigm exploring facial expression predictions and their impact on social evaluation.

Results

Autistic individuals held less stereotypical predictions than controls. Importantly, despite such differences in predictions, the use of such predictions for social evaluation did not differ significantly between groups, as autistic individuals relied on their predictions to evaluate others to the same extent as controls.

Conclusions

These results help to understand how autistic individuals perceive social stimuli and evaluate others, revealing a deviation from stereotypicality beyond which social evaluation strategies may be intact.

自闭症患者的刻板印象减少，面部表情预测在社交评价中的使用率降低

背景/目的通过传统的情绪识别范式对自闭症进行研究，只是调查准确性，从而限制了如何观察、识别和描述自闭症患者与对照组患者之间的潜在差异。此外，在自闭症患者的社会功能中使用情绪面部表情信息对于深入了解自闭症具有重要意义。方法通过社会感知行为范式对成年自闭症患者（34 人）和成年对照组患者（34 人）进行评估，探索面部表情预测及其对社会评价的影响。结果与对照组相比，自闭症患者的刻板预测较少。重要的是，尽管在预测方面存在这种差异，但在使用这种预测进行社会评价方面，不同群体之间并无显著差异，因为自闭症患者在评价他人时与对照组一样依赖于他们的预测。结论这些结果有助于了解自闭症患者是如何感知社会刺激和评价他人的，揭示了在刻板印象之外，社会评价策略可能是完好无损的。
