社会沟通的差异通常在自闭症谱系障碍（ASC）中报告。最近的一种理论将其归因于与他人交往的动机减少，即社会动机不足。然而，目前很少有简单、直接、行为的方法来检验这一说法。这项研究使用了一种新的社会动机行为测量方法来测试对直接凝视和面部刺激的偏好是否与自闭症特征或ASC诊断有关。我们的新的电影（CAM）范式测量参与者投入的努力，看到特定的刺激。社会动机的这一方面也被称为社会寻求。在实验1中，80名典型的成年人完成了CAM任务和自闭症特征的测量。在实验2中，30名成人ASC和24名年龄/智商匹配的典型成人完成CAM范式。研究一的结果表明，典型的成年人更喜欢社会刺激而不是非社会刺激，但这种偏好在自闭症特征水平较高的人中较弱。在第二项研究中，患有ASC的成年人对直接注视的偏好显着降低，但对没有直接注视的面孔的偏好差异不大。这些数据表明，社会动机可以用一种简单、直接的行为范式来衡量。此外，患有ASC的成年人比典型的成年人更不喜欢直接注视，但可能不会避免没有直接注视的面孔。这些数据推进了我们对社会动机在自闭症患者和非自闭症患者之间可能存在差异的理解。
Differences in social communication are commonly reported in autism spectrum condition (ASC). A recent theory attributes this to a reduced motivation to engage with others, that is, deficits in social motivation. However, there are currently few simple, direct, behavioural ways to test this claim. This study uses a new behavioural measure of social motivation to test if preferences for direct gaze and face stimuli are linked to autistic traits or an ASC diagnosis. Our novel choose-a-movie (CAM) paradigm measures the effort participants invest to see particular stimuli. This aspect of social motivation is also known as social seeking. In experiment 1, 80 typical adults completed the CAM task and a measure of autistic traits. In experiment 2, 30 adults with ASC and 24 age/IQ-matched typical adults completed the CAM paradigm. The results from study one showed that typical adults prefer social stimuli over non-social, but this preference is weaker in those with higher levels of autistic traits. In study two, adults with ASC showed a significant reduction in their preference for direct gaze but little difference in their preference for faces without direct gaze. These data show that social motivation can be measured in a simple, direct, behavioural paradigm. Furthermore, adults with ASC prefer direct gaze less than typical adults but may not avoid faces without direct gaze. This data advance our understanding of how social motivation may differ between those with and without autism.
