Abstract

Growing research suggests that clinical psychological traits are contiguous with normal personality and can be located within the same psychometric frameworks. In this article, we examined whether autism-related traits (ARTs) can plausibly be located within the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality. Across two studies (Ns = 408 and 423), participants completed measures of ARTs, broad FFM domains, and narrower FFM facets. We used empirically derived criteria to evaluate whether ARTs overlapped (i.e., shared variance) with the FFM domains to a degree that was comparable to FFM facets. Results suggested that most socially oriented ARTs could be represented as facets of the extraversion domain, whereas behaviorally oriented ARTs were more peripheral to the FFM. Cognitively oriented ARTs were less consistently linked with the FFM. These findings highlight the value of the FFM as an organizing framework for ARTs, marking an important step toward synthesis across the personality and autism literatures.

越来越多的研究表明，临床心理特征与正常人格是相辅相成的，并且可以被定位在相同的心理测量框架内。在本文中，我们研究了自闭症相关特质（ARTs）是否可以合理地归入人格五因素模型（FFM）。在两项研究中（Ns = 408 和 423），参与者完成了 ARTs、广义 FFM 领域和狭义 FFM 面的测量。我们使用经验得出的标准来评估 ART 是否与 FFM 领域重叠（即共享方差），其程度是否与 FFM 方面相当。结果表明，大多数社交导向的 ART 都可以表示为外向性领域的切面，而行为导向的 ART 与 FFM 的切面更为边缘。认知导向的 ART 与 FFM 的联系则不那么一致。这些发现凸显了FFM作为ART组织框架的价值，标志着我们在人格和自闭症研究领域迈出了重要的一步。

期刊介绍： Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
