Better to be equal? Challenges to equality for cognitively able children with autism spectrum disorders in a social decision game / Eva A. SCHMITZ in Autism, 19-2 (February 2015)

Examining the social decisions of children with autism spectrum disorders provides a fascinating opportunity to explore these issues. Specifically, we evaluated the possibility that children with autism spectrum disorders may be less likely than typically developing children to show a prioritisation of equality. A total of 69 typically developing (mean age 11;6 years) and 57 cognitively able children with autism spectrum disorders (mean age 11;7 years) played a social decision game in which the equality option was pitted against alternatives that varied in instrumental outcomes. Results showed that both groups were more likely to choose the equality option when there was no cost to the self. However, even though children with autism spectrum disorders appeared to view equality as preferable to causing explicit harm to others, they departed from an equality stance when there was an opportunity to increase instrumental gain without any obvious harm to the self or the other. Typically developing children, in contrast, showed similar prioritisation of equality across these contexts. Future research needs to address the question of how differences in the commitment to equality affect children’s social behaviour and relationships in daily life.

The link between emotion regulation, social functioning, and depression in boys with ASD / Lucinda B.C. POUW in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-4 (April 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-4 (April 2013) . - p.549-556 Titre : The link between emotion regulation, social functioning, and depression in boys with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lucinda B.C. POUW, Auteur ; Carolien RIEFFE, Auteur ; Lex STOCKMANN, Auteur ; Kenneth D. GADOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.549-556 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Depression  Emotion regulation  Coping  Victimization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Symptoms of depression are common in children and adolescents with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but information about underlying developmental factors is limited. Depression is often linked to aspects of emotional functioning such as coping strategies, but in children with ASD difficulties with social interactions are also a likely contributor to depressive symptoms. Methodology We examined several aspects of emotional coping (approach, avoidant, maladaptive) and social functioning (victimization, negative friendship interactions) and their relation to depression symptoms in children with ASD (N = 63) and typically developing (TD) peers (N = 57). Children completed a battery of self-report questionnaires. Results Less approach and avoidant, but more maladaptive coping strategies, and poor social functioning were uniquely associated with more symptoms of depression in children with ASD. Only less approach and more maladaptive coping were uniquely associated with depression severity in TD boys. Conclusions Unlike TD boys, boys with ASD who report using avoidant strategies to deal with stressful situations report fewer symptoms of depression, suggesting that this may be an adaptive emotion regulation strategy. However, understanding the role of over-arousal in this process, inferences about long-term effects of this strategy, its causality and direction of effects will require additional research.
