Do puzzle pieces and autism puzzle piece logos evoke negative associations? / Morton Ann GERNSBACHER in Autism, 22-2 (February 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-2 (February 2018) . - p.118-125 Titre : Do puzzle pieces and autism puzzle piece logos evoke negative associations? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Morton Ann GERNSBACHER, Auteur ; Adam R. RAIMOND, Auteur ; Jennifer L. STEVENSON, Auteur ; Jilana S BOSTON, Auteur ; Bev HARP, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.118-125 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : free associations,IAT,Implicit Association Test,puzzle Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Puzzle pieces have become ubiquitous symbols for autism. However, puzzle-piece imagery stirs debate between those who support and those who object to its use because they believe puzzle-piece imagery evokes negative associations. Our study empirically investigated whether puzzle pieces evoke negative associations in the general public. Participants’ (N = 400) implicit negative associations were measured with an Implicit Association Task, which is a speeded categorization task, and participants’ explicit associations were measured with an Explicit Association Task, which is a standard task for assessing consumers’ explicit associations with brands (and images of those brands). Puzzle pieces, both those used as autism logos and those used more generically, evoked negative implicit associations (t(399) = –5.357, p < 0.001) and negative explicit associations (z = 4.693, p < 0.001, d = 0.491). Participants explicitly associated puzzle pieces, even generic puzzle pieces, with incompleteness, imperfection, and oddity. Our results bear public policy implications. If an organization’s intention for using puzzle-piece imagery is to evoke negative associations, our results suggest the organization’s use of puzzle-piece imagery is apt. However, if the organization’s intention is to evoke positive associations, our results suggest that puzzle-piece imagery should probably be avoided.

Gender differences in mental rotation strategy depend on degree of autistic traits / Jennifer L. STEVENSON in Autism Research, 11-7 (July 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-7 (July 2018) . - p.1024-1037 Titre : Gender differences in mental rotation strategy depend on degree of autistic traits Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer L. STEVENSON, Auteur ; M.B. NONACK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1024-1037 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic traits  eye movements  gender differences  mental rotation  visual spatial skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Participants with low, medium, and high autistic traits completed a mental rotation task while their eye movements were recorded. Men were more accurate than women (F(1, 102) = 4.36, P = 0.04, eta(2)p = 0.04), but there were no group differences in reaction time. In terms of eye movements, all participants tended to rely on top corners of cube figures for most angles of rotation, and bottom corners of cube figures for 0 and 90 degree rotations (duration: F(8, 816) = 21.70, P < 0.001, eta(2)p = 0.18; count: F(8, 816) = 24.42, P < 0.001, eta(2)p = 0.19) suggesting a shift in strategy with rotation angle. Eye movements to corners of cube figures also varied by autistic traits group and gender (duration: F(4, 204) = 2.44, P = 0.05, eta(2)p = 0.05; count: F(4, 204) = 2.47, P = 0.05, eta(2)p = 0.05). Participants with low and medium autistic traits tended to rely more often on the top corners, whereas women with high autistic traits relied on both the top and bottom corners and men with high autistic traits relied on all corners equally. These results suggest mental rotation strategies may vary by both gender and autistic traits. Autism Res 2018, 11: 1024-1037. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: The current study looked at eye movements to assess adults' strategies when mentally rotating three-dimensional cube figures. Adults with varying levels of autistic traits differ in their mental rotation strategies. In addition, gender differences in strategies are observed in adults with the highest level of autistic traits.

Psychometric Properties of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient for Assessing Low and High Levels of Autistic Traits in College Students / Jennifer L. STEVENSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-6 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-6 (June 2017) . - p.1838-1853 Titre : Psychometric Properties of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient for Assessing Low and High Levels of Autistic Traits in College Students Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer L. STEVENSON, Auteur ; Kari R. HART, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1838-1853 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-Spectrum Quotient  Autistic traits  Internal consistency  Test–retest reliability  Scoring method  Subscale scores Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study systematically investigated the effects of scoring and categorization methods on the psychometric properties of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient. Four hundred and three college students completed the Autism-Spectrum Quotient at least once. Total scores on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient had acceptable internal consistency and test–retest reliability using a binary or Likert scoring method, but the results were more varied for the subscales. Overall, Likert scoring yielded higher internal consistency and test–retest reliability than binary scoring. However, agreement in categorization of low and high autistic traits was poor over time (except for a median split on Likert scores). The results support using Likert scoring and administering the Autism-Spectrum Quotient at the same time as the task of interest with neurotypical participants.
