Not knowing what I feel: Emotional empathy in autism spectrum disorders / Emily TRIMMER in Autism, 21-4 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-4 (May 2017) . - p.450-457 Titre : Not knowing what I feel: Emotional empathy in autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily TRIMMER, Auteur ; Skye MCDONALD, Auteur ; Jacqueline Ann RUSHBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.450-457 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : arousal  autism spectrum disorder  emotional response  empathy  psychophysiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : While there is a general consensus in the literature that individuals with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty with cognitive empathy, much less is known about emotional empathy processing in these individuals. Most research has employed subjective self-report measures, which can often be misinterpreted or under-reported/over-reported. More objective measures such as psychophysiological recordings of arousal offer a more objective response. Furthermore, combining physiological responses with self-report ratings allows us to explore the relationship between these two responses to emotionally charged stimuli. A total of 25 individuals with autism spectrum disorder were compared with 25 matched controls on their physiological (arousal) and psychological (self-report) responses to emotionally distressing video scenes. These responses were also then compared with self-report cognitive and emotional trait empathy. Results indicate that while individuals with autism spectrum disorder appear to respond similarly to controls physiologically, their interpretation of this response is dampened emotionally. Furthermore, this dampening of self-report emotional response is associated with a general reduction in trait empathy.

The Physiological and Psychological Effects of Ostracism in Adults with ASD / Emily TRIMMER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-8 (August 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-8 (August 2017) . - p.2326-2335 Titre : The Physiological and Psychological Effects of Ostracism in Adults with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily TRIMMER, Auteur ; Skye MCDONALD, Auteur ; Michelle KELLY, Auteur ; Jacqueline Ann RUSHBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2326-2335 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Ostracism  Cyberball  Arousal  Emotional response  Psychophysiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Whilst some form of ostracism is experienced by most people at some point in their lives, it is experienced far more often in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Little is known about how this social exclusion is interpreted, experienced or managed. This study aimed to explore the psychological (mood and social needs) as well as the physiological (arousal) effects of ostracism using a well-established paradigm, Cyberball. Results demonstrated no differences between groups on social needs, however, mood was rated as more negatively by ASDs overall. Arousal was increased in when excluded compared with when excluded for ASDs, but not for controls. Overall, individuals with ASD experienced heightened physiological arousal but whilst these individuals reported overall lower mood, this response to ostracism was not expressed as emotionally significant to these individuals, suggesting possible interoceptive difficulties in this population. This highlights the need for both understanding in non-ASD individuals and intervention of this emotional distress in individuals with ASD.
