目的. - 本研究旨在探讨自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者情绪调节能力的自评量表的效度。为了评估这一点，我们寻求两个述情障碍的自我报告和抑郁症的自我报告在两个时间点，从成人与非ASD。材料和方法。- 27名ASD成人和35名正常成人的初始样本在测试时间1完成了20项多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）、Bermond和沃斯特述情障碍量表-形式B（BVAQ-B B）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。对这些人。19名ASD患者和29名对照者在4 ~ 12个月后再次参加研究。- ASD参与者能够使用自我报告来报告自己的情绪。BVAQ-B在两组中均显示出较好的收敛效度和重测信度。两组受试者的述情障碍量表评分均稳定。然而，结果显示，尽管TAS-20总分在两个时间点区分了两组，但BVAQ-B总分没有区分。TAS-20的重测信度高于BVAQ-B。- ASD参与者比对照组更抑郁，更述情障碍。使用BVAQ-B作为述情障碍的所有额外评估，表明ASD患者具有特定类型的述情障碍，其特征在于认知领域的困难增加，而不是述情障碍的情感方面。(c)2004年，Elsevier SAS。All rights reserved.
Purpose. - The current paper focused on the validity of using self-reports to assess emotion regulation abilities in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). To assess this we sought responses to two alexithymia self-teports and a depression self-report at two time points from adults with and without ASD.Materials and methods. - An initial sample of 27 adults with ASD and 35 normal adults completed the 20-item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20), the Bermond and Vorst alexithymia questionnaire-form B (BVAQ-B), and the Beck depression inventory (BDI), at test time 1. Of these individuals. 19 ASD and 29 controls participated again after a period ranging from 4 to 12 months.Results. - ASD participants were able to report about their own emotions using self-reports. BVAQ-B showed reasonable convergent validity and test-retest reliability in both groups. Scores oil both alexithymia scales were stable across the two participant groups. However, results revealed that although the TAS-20 total score discriminated between the two groups at both time points, the BVAQ-B total score did not. Moreover, the TAS-20 showed stronger test-retest reliability than the BVAQ-B.Conclusion. - ASD participants appeared more depressed and more alexithyrnic than the controls. The Use of the BVAQ-B, as all additional assessment of alexithymia, indicated that ASD patients have a specific type of alexithymia characterised by increased difficulties in the cognitive domain rather than the affective aspects of alexithymia.
