Abstract

Previous work using the Stereotype Content Model reveals that autistic individuals come across as equally warm, if not warmer, than competent. This pattern runs against the widespread representations of autistic individuals as highly intelligent but lacking in social skills. The present research addresses this inconsistency by considering the facets of social judgement. Across two studies (Study 1-students' sample: N = 497, Study 2-general population sample: N = 667), participants completed trait attributions and reported spontaneous stereotypes. Results consistently revealed that respondents perceived autistic individuals as low in friendliness but high in morality and higher in ability than in assertiveness. Moreover, whereas friendliness and ability dominated spontaneous descriptions, morality and assertiveness were evoked only marginally. These findings highlight the added value of analysing stereotypes at the facet level, at least when it comes to autistic individuals, and offer a more nuanced understanding of stereotypic representations of this group.

热情和能干，真的吗？关于自闭症背景下刻板印象的重要性。

先前使用刻板印象内容模型的研究表明，自闭症患者给人的印象是与有能力的人一样热情，如果不是更热情的话。这种模式与普遍认为自闭症患者非常聪明但缺乏社交技能的说法背道而驰。本研究通过考虑社会判断的各个方面来解决这种不一致。在两项研究中（研究1-学生样本：N = 497，研究2-总体样本：N = 667），参与者完成了特质归因并报告了自发刻板印象。结果一致显示，受访者认为自闭症患者的友善程度较低，但道德水平较高，能力高于自信。此外，友善和能力在自发描述中占主导地位，而道德和自信只在次要位置出现。这些发现强调了在层面上分析刻板印象的附加价值，至少当涉及到自闭症个体时，并提供了对该群体刻板印象表征的更细致的理解。
