本研究旨在描述 3-7 岁自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 儿童样本的气质特征，并确定 ASD 气质与感觉特征之间的潜在关联。感觉处理的个体差异可能构成气质和个性方面的基础，感觉处理的畸变可能解释为什么某些气质特征是特定临床人群的特征。使用方差分析，对患有 ASD（n = 54）、发育迟缓（DD；n = 33）的儿童组和典型发育儿童的原始规范样本（Carey & McDevitt，1978；n = 350）中的行为风格问卷中的九个气质维度进行比较，以确定各组气质特征的差异程度。使用回归分析对患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童进行了假设的感觉特征（高反应性、低反应性和寻求）的三维结构与九个气质维度之间的重叠。自闭症谱系障碍组在大多数气质维度（活动性、节奏性、适应性、接近性、注意力分散性、强度、持久性和阈值）上表现出与正常发育儿童的标准不同的气质得分，但仅在两个维度（接近性和注意力分散性）上与 DD 组不同。对感觉结构和气质维度之间关联的分析发现，感觉反应低下与适应缓慢、反应性低和注意力分散有关。感官特征的增加（所有三种模式）与退缩和消极情绪的增加有关。尽管气质的大多数维度都可以区分患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童作为一个群体，但并非所有维度都与感觉反应模式具有同等的相关性。在未来的研究中探索感觉反应、气质和社交退缩背后的共同机制可能会富有成效。
This study sought to characterize temperament traits in a sample of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ages 3–7 years old, and to determine the potential association between temperament and sensory features in ASD. Individual differences in sensory processing may form the basis for aspects of temperament and personality, and aberrations in sensory processing may inform why some temperamental traits are characteristic of specific clinical populations. Nine dimensions of temperament from the Behavioral Style Questionnaire were compared among groups of children with ASD (n = 54), developmentally delayed (DD; n = 33), and the original normative sample of typically developing children (Carey & McDevitt, 1978; n = 350) using an ANOVA to determine the extent to which groups differed in their temperament profiles. The hypothesized overlap between three dimensional constructs of sensory features (hyperresponsiveness, hyporesponsivness, and seeking) and the nine dimensions of temperament was analyzed in children with ASD using regression analyses. The ASD group displayed temperament scores distinct from norms for typically developing children on most dimensions of temperament (activity, rhythmicity, adaptability, approach, distractibility, intensity, persistence, and threshold) but differed from the DD group on only two dimensions (approach and distractibility). Analyses of associations between sensory constructs and temperament dimensions found that sensory hyporesponsiveness was associated with slowness to adapt, low reactivity, and low distractibility; a combination of increased sensory features (across all three patterns) was associated with increased withdrawal and more negative mood. Although most dimensions of temperament distinguished children with ASD as a group, not all dimensions appear equally associated with sensory response patterns. Shared mechanisms underlying sensory responsiveness, temperament, and social withdrawal may be fruitful to explore in future studies.
