Alexithymia and Autistic Traits as Contributing Factors to Empathy Difficulties in Preadolescent Children / Lydia G. SPEYER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-2 (February 2022) . - p.823-834 Titre : Alexithymia and Autistic Traits as Contributing Factors to Empathy Difficulties in Preadolescent Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lydia G.

Empathy, alexithymia and autistic traits have yet to be examined concurrently in children. Therefore, we examined the co-occurrence of empathy difficulties and alexithymia in 59 typically developing and 5 autistic children. Multiple measures (self-report, parent-report and a behavioural task) were used to evaluate empathy and to assess differences in self- and parent-reports using multiple regressions. Alexithymia was found to predict empathy significantly better than autistic traits, providing support for the alexithymia hypothesis. From a therapeutic perspective, results suggest autistic children who screen positive for elevated alexithymic traits may benefit from additional support targeting emotion identification.

Are Autistic Traits Measured Equivalently in Individuals With and Without An Autism Spectrum Disorder? An Invariance Analysis of the Autism Spectrum Quotient Short Form / Aja Louise MURRAY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-1 (January 2014)

Little research has examined the extent to which measures of autistic traits actually measure the same traits in the same way across those with and without an ASD. We addressed this question using a multi-group confirmatory factor invariance analysis of the Autism Quotient Short Form (AQ-S: Hoekstra et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 41(5):589–596, 2011) across those with (n = 148) and without (n = 168) ASD. Metric variance (equality of factor loadings), but not scalar invariance (equality of thresholds), held suggesting that the AQ-S measures the same latent traits in both groups, but with a bias in the manner in which trait levels are estimated. We, therefore, argue that the AQ-S can be used to investigate possible causes and consequences of autistic traits in both groups separately, but caution is due when combining or comparing levels of autistic traits across the two groups.

Are We Under-Estimating the Association Between Autism Symptoms?: The Importance of Considering Simultaneous Selection When Using Samples of Individuals Who Meet Diagnostic Criteria for an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Aja Louise MURRAY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-11 (November 2014)

Such correlations may substantially under-estimate the population correlations among symptoms due to simultaneous selection on the areas of deficit required for diagnosis. Using statistical simulations of this selection mechanism, we provide estimates of the extent of this bias, given different levels of population correlation between symptoms. We then use real data to compare domain inter-correlations in the Autism Spectrum Quotient, in those with ASD versus a combined ASD and non-ASD sample. Results from both studies indicate that samples restricted to individuals with a diagnosis of ASD potentially substantially under-estimate the magnitude of association between features of ASD.

Brief Report: An Evaluation of the AQ-10 as a Brief Screening Instrument for ASD in Adults / Tom BOOTH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-12 (December 2013)

In this study we evaluated the ability of a short form of the autism spectrum quotient (AQ) questionnaire, the 10 item AQ-10, to correctly classify individuals as having or not having ASD. In a sample of 149 individuals with ASD and 134 controls without an ASD diagnosis, we found that the full AQ (AQ-50) abridged AQ (AQ-S) and AQ-10 all performed well as a screen for ASD. ROC analysis indicated that sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve were very similar at suggested cut-off’s for ASD across measures, with little difference in performance between the AQ-10 and full AQ-50. Results indicate the potential usefulness of the AQ-10 as a brief screen for ASD.

Developmental associations between bullying victimization and suicidal ideation and direct self-injurious behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood / Xinxin ZHU in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-7 (July 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-7 (July 2022) . - p.820-828 Titre : Developmental associations between bullying victimization and suicidal ideation and direct self-injurious behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xinxin ZHU, Auteur ; Helen GRIFFITHS, Auteur ; Manuel EISNER, Auteur ; Urs HEPP, Auteur ; Denis RIBEAUD, Auteur ; Aja Louise MURRAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.820-828 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Adult  Bullying  Child  Crime Victims  Humans  Self-Injurious Behavior/epidemiology  Suicidal Ideation  Suicide  Young Adult  adolescence and emerging adulthood  direct self-injurious behavior  general and sexual bullying victimization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Bullying, suicide, and self-injury are significant issues among young people. Extensive research has documented bullying victimization associations with suicidal ideation and self-injury; however, the modeling approaches used have mostly not addressed the relations between these constructs at the within-person level, and it is these links that are critical for testing developmental theories and guiding intervention efforts. This examined the within-person, bidirectional relations between these constructs in adolescence and emerging adulthood. METHODS: Participants were from the Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso). Random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs) were fit to general and sexual bullying victimization and suicidal ideation data at ages 15, 17, and 20 (n=1465), and general and sexual victimization and direct self-injurious behavior data at ages 13, 15, 17, and 20 (n=1482). RESULTS: There was a positive within-person effect of age 15 general bullying victimization on age 17 suicidal ideation (?=.10) and age 17 suicidal ideation on age 20 general bullying victimization (?=.14). CONCLUSIONS: General bullying victimization and suicidal ideation may have detrimental effects on each other over development but at different stages.
