How Anxious Do You Think I Am? Relationship Between State and Trait Anxiety in Children With and Without ASD During Social Tasks / Julia MERTENS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-12 (December 2017)

GROSSMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p.3692-3703 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asd  Anxiety  Biophysiology  Standardized measures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit increased anxiety, even in non-stressful situations. We investigate general anxiousness (anxiety trait) and responses to stressful situations (anxiety state) in 22 adolescents with ASD and 32 typically developing controls. We measured trait anxiety with standardized self- and parent-reported questionnaires. We used a Biopac system to capture state anxiety via skin conductance responses, mean heart rate and heart rate variability during high- and low-anxiety tasks. Results reveal higher trait anxiety in adolescents with ASD (p < 0.05) and no group difference in state anxiety. Increased parent-reported trait anxiety may predict decreased state anxiety during high-stress conditions. Together, these findings suggest that higher trait anxiety may result in dampened physical responses to stress.

Impact of conversational context on gaze patterns of autistic and non-autistic adolescents / Amelia REES ; Julia MERTENS ; Emily ZANE in Research in Autism, 125 (July 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 125 (July 2025) . - p.202606 Titre : Impact of conversational context on gaze patterns of autistic and non-autistic adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amelia REES, Auteur ; Julia MERTENS, Auteur ; Emily ZANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202606 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Conversation  Eye gaze  Cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Few studies of social gaze by autistic individuals have focused on live interactions and those studies have been limited to conversations with a single partner. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of conversational variations in cognitive load on social gaze of autistic and non-autistic adolescents while engaging with two conversation partners. Methods Participants engaged in a conversation where two research assistants (RAs) and the participant each shared personal memories and engaged with each other through question asking and commenting. We used eye-tracking glasses to record and analyze participants" gaze in response to two questions: One question was open-ended and referenced an unusual topic (high cognitive demand), while the other question required a simple yes or no response about a common topic (low cognitive demand). Results Non-autistic adolescents gazed more at the faces of either RA than their autistic peers. Both participant groups gazed more at the face of the RA who had just asked a question. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons revealed that non-autistic participants gazed significantly more at the RA asking the yes/no question than the RA asking the open-ended question condition, but autistic participants showed no such gaze difference across question type. Conclusion These findings indicate a pattern of interactional gaze that is influenced not only by neurotype, but also by conversational features, such as the difficulty of the question and the overall social demands of interacting with more than one person.

Perceptions of self and other: Social judgments and gaze patterns to videos of adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder / Ruth B. GROSSMAN in Autism, 23-4 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-4 (May 2019) . - p.846-857 Titre : Perceptions of self and other: Social judgments and gaze patterns to videos of adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ruth B. GROSSMAN, Auteur ; Julia MERTENS, Auteur ; Emily ZANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.846-857 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  communication and language  social cognition and social behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Neurotypical adults often form negative first impressions of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and are less interested in engaging with them socially. In contrast, individuals with autism spectrum disorder actively seek out the company of others who share their diagnosis. It is not clear, however, whether individuals with autism spectrum disorder form more positive first impressions of autistic peers when diagnosis is not explicitly shared. We asked adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder to watch brief video clips of adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder and answer questions about their impressions of the individuals in the videos. Questions were related to participants' perceptions of the social skills of the individuals in the video, as well as their own willingness to interact with that person. We also measured gaze patterns to the faces, eyes, and mouths of adolescents in the video stimuli. Both participant groups spent less time gazing at videos of autistic adolescents. Regardless of diagnostic group, all participants provided more negative judgments of autistic than neurotypical adolescents in the videos. These data indicate that, without being explicitly informed of a shared diagnosis, adolescents with autism spectrum disorder form negative first impressions of autistic adolescents that are similar to, or lower than, those formed by neurotypical peers.
