接受他人的视觉观点是非常普遍的，这可能是成功的社交互动和移情他人的基础。然而，在采取观点方面取得成功的个体差异仍然相对未被发现。我们评估了正常大学生成人的性别和自闭症人格特征是否能预测采用他人视觉视角的能力。在一项不同地招募VPT-1和VPT-2的任务中，VPT-1涉及跟随他人的视线，VPT-2涉及确定另一个人如何在给定其独特视角的情况下以不同的方式感知一个物体(VPT-2)，我们发现性别和自闭症人格特征都有影响。具体地说，在具有相对较高的ASD特征人格特征的男性和女性中，我们发现VPT-2的表现减慢，但VPT-1的表现不明显；然而，这种影响在男性中明显强于女性。结果有助于在普通人群中了解与自闭症相关的人格特征，以及调节视角选择能力的个体差异。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
Adopting another's visual perspective is exceedingly common and may underlie successful social interaction and empathizing with others. The individual differences responsible for success in perspective-taking, however, remain relatively undiscovered. We assessed whether gender and autistic personality traits in normal college student adults predict the ability to adopt another's visual perspective. In a task differentially recruiting VPT-1 which involves following another's line of sight, and VPT-2 which involves determining how another may perceive an object differently given their unique perspective (VPT-2), we found effects of both gender and autistic personality traits. Specifically, we demonstrate slowed VPT-2 but not VPT-1 performance in males and females with relatively high ASD-characteristic personality traits; this effect, however was markedly stronger in males than females. Results contribute to knowledge regarding ASD-related personality traits in the general population and the individual differences modulating perspective-taking abilities. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
