Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-4 (May 2016) . - p.388-394 Titre : The effect of diagnostic labels on the affective responses of college students towards peers with ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ and ‘Autism Spectrum Disorder’ Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mark BROSNAN, Auteur ; Elizabeth MILLS, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.388-394 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : affective response  Asperger’s Syndrome  autism spectrum disorder  label Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Given the removal of Asperger’s Syndrome label in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–Fifth Edition, the impact of clinical labels upon the affective responses of college students was explored. A total of 120 college students read two vignettes depicting social interactions typical of a person with autism spectrum disorder. In one vignette, they were informed that the character was a typical college student and in the other, the character had a clinical disorder (either autism spectrum disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome or Schizophrenia). Participants’ affective responses were measured on the Positive and Negative Affect Scale. No significant differences in positive and negative affective responses were found between the clinical labels. However, affective responses were significantly more positive and less negative towards behaviours associated with clinical groups compared to the typical college student. The implications for students disclosing their diagnosis at university are discussed.
