It can offer valuable insights into the social functioning of these individuals. Method Participants with high and low ATs (N = 120; 30 in each group for two experiments) completed a 10-round trust game that embedded various trustworthiness cues, including reputation, advice (Experiment 1 = direct advice; Experiment 2 = social-emotional advice), and reciprocity. Linear mixed-effects models with investment rates as the dependent variable were used to analyze the data. Results Methodologically, the experimental results elucidated the fundamental characteristics of dynamic trust formation within the context of multidimensional trust information. Furthermore, High-AT individuals showed assigned less weight to reciprocity but relied heavily on reputation, and exhibited maladaptive advice-taking. Unlike low-AT individuals, high-AT individuals did not adaptively reduce reputational effect over rounds. Conclusions Our findings highlight the unique challenges faced by individuals with high ATs when navigating complex social interactions.

Autistic symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms among Chinese college students: A longitudinal study / Lulu HOU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 101 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 101 (March 2023) . - 102106 Titre : Autistic symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms among Chinese college students: A longitudinal study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lulu HOU, Auteur ; Wendian SHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102106 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic symptoms  Social anxiety symptoms  Depressive symptoms  Developmental cascade model Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There was a high degree of co-occurrence between autistic symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms, but their longitudinal associations have not been adequately studied. Method Three hundred and ninety-seven Chinese college students (68.51% female; 21.43 Â+ 2.22 years) from mainland China were assessed via self-reported questionnaires multiple times over the course of a year. A developmental cascade model was used to investigate the longitudinal linkages among autistic symptoms, social anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Results Results indicated that (1) autistic symptoms at each time point reliably predicted depressive symptoms at the next time point, whereas only depressive symptoms at Time 1 predicted autistic symptoms at Time 2; (2) social anxiety symptoms did not predict subsequent depressive symptoms significantly, whereas depressive symptoms at Time 1 predicted social anxiety symptoms at Time 2; (3) the relationship between autistic symptoms and social anxiety symptoms showed a spiral pattern, i.e., social anxiety symptoms of Time 1 predicted autistic symptoms at Time 2, which in turn predicted social anxiety symptoms at Time 3; and (4) social anxiety symptoms at Time 1 predicted depressive symptoms at Time 3 indirectly through autistic symptoms at Time 2. Conclusions These results clarify the longitudinal predictive relationship between autistic symptoms and two typical emotional symptoms, suggesting in practice that we should adopt intervention strategies targeting emotional symptoms combined with social skills for college students with high autism symptoms and individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

Autistic traits and COVID-19-related post-traumatic stress disorder symptom: Sex difference and the role of anxiety sensitivity / Xudong ZHAO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 98 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 98 (October 2022) . - 102042 Titre : Autistic traits and COVID-19-related post-traumatic stress disorder symptom: Sex difference and the role of anxiety sensitivity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xudong ZHAO, Auteur ; Wenrui LI, Auteur ; Xiujun LI, Auteur ; Wendian SHI, Auteur ; Chunbo LI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102042 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Autistic traits  Anxiety sensitivity  COVID-19  Post-traumatic stress disorder  Mediating effect Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and high autistic traits (ATs) are at a higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following exposure to social traumatic events. However, the association between ATs and PTSD symptoms following exposure to pathogen threat-related traumatic situations, the role of sex differences in this association, and the mediating mechanism are yet unexplored. This study explored the effects of ATs, sex, and their interaction on COVID-19-related PTSD symptoms, as well as the possible mediating role of anxiety sensitivity (AS) between ATs and PTSD symptoms. Method In total, six hundred ninety-six valid participants (379 women) completed questionnaires assessing their ATs, COVID-19-related PTSD symptoms, and AS. Generalized linear model and mediation effects analyses were conducted. Results Our results showed higher levels of COVID-19-related PTSD symptoms in the high ATs group, especially in women with high AT, compared to the low ATs group. ATs also exerts a significant indirect effect on COVID-19-related PTSD symptom through AS. Conclusions The results indicate an increased vulnerability of individuals with high ATs (especially females) to COVID-19-related PTSD and the mediating mechanism of the co-occurrence of ATs-PTSD. These findings have implications for PTSD interventions for individuals with high ATs and ASD in the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Autistic traits and emotional experiences in Chinese college students: Mediating role of emotional regulation and sex differences / Xudong ZHAO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 77 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 77 (September 2020) . - 101607 Titre : Autistic traits and emotional experiences in Chinese college students: Mediating role of emotional regulation and sex differences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xudong ZHAO, Auteur ; Xiujun LI, Auteur ; Youming SONG, Auteur ; Chunbo LI, Auteur ; Wendian SHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101607 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Autistic traits  Emotion regulation  Emotional experiences  Moderating effect  Mediation effect Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies conducted in Western cultures showed that maladaptive use of emotion regulation (ER) leads to emotional problems in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the extent of the association between these characteristics of ASD and autistic traits (ATs) in the general population is still unclear, since the frequency and output of ER may be different in Eastern and Western cultures. Moreover, sex plays an important role in ASD-related emotional functions and ER. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the associations between ATs, ER, and emotions in Eastern cultures, as well as the possible moderating role of sex in the relationships between them. Methods In total, 558 (304 females) participants completed questionnaires, assessing their ATs, ER strategies (reappraisal and suppression), and positive/negative emotional experiences. Spearman correlation and moderating and mediation effects analyses were conducted. Results ATs directly predicted reduced positive emotions and increased negative emotions, and indirectly predicted increased non-adaptability of emotional experiences by limiting reappraisal. A sex-specific influence pattern was also revealed: ATs in females further strengthens negative emotions by increasing the frequency of using suppression. Conclusions In this study of using a sample from an eastern culture, the results revealed (1) the mediating role of reappraisal and suppression in the relationship between ATs and emotional experiences and (2) females’ greater susceptibility to the negative impacts of ATs on emotions. These findings provide preliminary evidence for understanding sex differences in AT-related emotional functions, which may have implications for emotional interventions for individuals with ASD and high ATs.

However, few studies explored the inter links between autistic traits, alexithymia, sleep disturbance and aggression. Using network analysis, current study explores relationships between these symptoms within a general population sample. Method Seven hundred and sixty-one (age 18-30, 351 male, 410 female) participants were recruited through an online platform. Network analysis was used to clarify relationship between these symptoms, and network comparison was conducted to determine whether network pattern differed between male and female. Results Discernible patterns linking autistic traits to alexithymia, sleep disturbance and aggression. These patterns exhibited a satisfactory level of stability and consistency when tested and retested. Among the nodes examined, the node with the highest centrality and expected influence in the network is aggression. Network constructed using male and female data show different patterns of structure and strength. Conclusion Understanding the association between autism traits and other behavioral and emotional issues, as well as the possible role of gender, can help optimize targeted interventions and improve the quality of life of individuals with autism.
