威廉姆斯综合征（WS）是一种遗传性发育障碍，具有典型的认知和人格特征。WS的研究指向外向和合群的人格风格，经常与自闭症谱系障碍形成对比；然而，最近的研究发现了WS患者潜在的社会互惠困难。这些社会互惠困难背后的社会信息处理困难很少被研究过。目前研究的参与者包括24名8至15岁的WS儿童。采用社会知觉和社会认知的实验室测试（社会归因测试）、智力功能测试（KBIT-II）和父母沟通和互惠社会技能报告（社会沟通问卷、社会反应量表）。研究了社会认知、认知能力与社会交际的关系。结果表明，即使考虑到智力功能的可变性，父母报告的社会互惠与实验室测量中提供的反应的典型性之间也存在关系。具体来说，那些在社会归因任务（SAT）中做出的叙述与之前对典型发展个体的研究中描述的更相似的个体，在父母报告的现实世界环境中也有更少的社会互惠困难。此外，在增加支架的情况下，SAT成绩有了显著提高，尤其是智力功能较强的参与者。这些发现表明，在模棱两可的情况下解释他人之间的社会动态的困难可能导致WS患者观察到的社会关系困难，超出了智力功能的作用。探索性分析表明，与智力功能较弱的个体相比，智力功能较强的个体的表现在更大程度上得到了额外结构的改善。针对WS患者的这些社会信息处理的干预措施可能是有益的。
Williams syndrome (WS) is a developmental disorder of genetic origin, with characteristic cognitive and personality profiles. Studies of WS point to an outgoing and gregarious personality style, often contrasted with autism spectrum disorders; however, recent research has uncovered underlying social reciprocity difficulties in people with WS. Social information processing difficulties that underlie these social reciprocity difficulties have been sparsely examined. Participants in the current study included 24 children with WS ages 8 through 15. A lab-based measure of social perception and social cognition was administered (Social Attribution Test), as well as an intellectual functioning measure (KBIT-II) and parent reports of communication and reciprocal social skills (Social Communication Questionnaire, Social Responsiveness Scale). Relations between social cognition, cognitive abilities, and social-communication were examined. Results demonstrated relations between parent-reported social reciprocity and the typicality of the responses provided in the lab-based measure, even once variability in intellectual functioning was taken into account. Specifically, those individuals who produced narratives in response to the social attribution task (SAT) that were more similar to those described in previous studies of typically developing individuals were also reported to have fewer social reciprocity difficulties in the real world setting as reported by parents. In addition, a significant improvement in performance on the SAT was seen with added scaffolding, particularly for participants with stronger intellectual functioning. These findings indicate that difficulties interpreting the social dynamics between others in ambiguous situations may contribute to the social relationship difficulties observed in people with WS, above and beyond the role of intellectual functioning. Exploratory analyses indicated that performance by individuals with stronger intellectual functioning is improved with additional structure to a greater degree than for those with weaker intellectual functioning. Interventions that specifically target these social information processing of individuals with WS would likely be beneficial.
