AI Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how autistic traits affect how people are viewed in social situations.
- They recorded 60 people with different levels of autistic traits and showed the videos to 106 others who judged their expressiveness and likability.
- The results showed that people with more autistic traits were seen as less likable and less socially favorable because they appeared less expressive, even though their actual readability was also affected.
Article Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between autistic traits, expressiveness, readability (both actual and perceived), social favourability, and likability. Sixty participants designated as 'targets' were video recorded in a range of social scenarios and their autistic traits were measured using the Autism Spectrum Quotient. The videos were then shown to 106 new participants designated 'perceivers', who were split into three groups to make judgments related to readability, expressiveness, and social favourability respectively. Mediation analyses revealed that autistic traits negatively impacted both perceived likeability and social favourability, mediated by lowered expressiveness. Autistic traits also directly impacted readability, which was not mediated by expressiveness. The findings show how the level of autistic traits of a target can influence how they are socially perceived by others.
