Abstract
This study examined young adults' ratings of the credibility and honesty/coherence of youths with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to typically developing (TD) youths. The youths (six with ASD and six TD; 12–18 years old, males) recalled participating in the TRIER Social Stress Test. Video clips of their free recall were shown to undergraduate students (N = 304) who rated the youths on a 10-item questionnaire. Factor analysis revealed two factors: credibility and honesty/coherence. Analyses showed that ASD youths were rated as less credible and less honest/coherent than TD youths. In addition, older age and more correct memory predicted greater credibility, and older age predicted greater perceived honesty/coherence. There were no significant interactions with diagnosis. This is the first study to examine adults' ratings of ASD youths who are recalling a stressful event.
期刊介绍:
Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
