The distribution of and relationship between autistic traits and social anxiety in a UK student population / Megan FREETH in Autism, 17-5 (September 2013)
[article]
Titre : The distribution of and relationship between autistic traits and social anxiety in a UK student population Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Megan FREETH, Auteur ; Tom BULLOCK, Auteur ; Elizabeth MILNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.571-581 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : social anxiety autistic traits population screening prevalence gender Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Traits associated with autism and social anxiety were assessed in a UK student population (n = 1325) using the Autism-spectrum Quotient and the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. Clinically relevant levels of autistic traits were observed in 3.3% of the cohort; 10.1% of the cohort reported clinically relevant levels of social anxiety; 1.8% of the cohort met clinically relevant cut-offs for both conditions. There was a significant positive correlation between scores on the two scales (r = .51); students with high levels of autistic traits were more likely to report increased social anxiety than those with average or low levels of autistic traits. Level of social anxiety was best predicted by autistic traits associated with social skill, attention switching and communication, accounting for 33% of the variance in social anxiety scores. Social skill was a better predictor of social anxiety in males than females; attention switching ability was a better predictor of social anxiety in females than males. Students with high levels of autistic traits displayed heightened anxiety to situations and activities necessary for the successful completion of their degree. Implications for student well-being and attainment are discussed.
