导致患有阿斯伯格综合症的儿童出现诸如焦虑和抑郁等共病精神症状风险的因素仍然知之甚少。本研究探讨了儿童的情绪和行为困难与社会信息和归因加工的关系。参与者是患有阿斯伯格综合症（n = 31）或发育正常（n = 33）的儿童。为了评估社会信息和归因处理，儿童对假设的社会小插曲做出反应。他们还完成了社会困难和心理功能的自我报告。他们的父母提供了社会能力和临床表现的信息。阿斯伯格综合症儿童的社会心理适应能力较差，这与他们的社会信息和归因加工模式有关。认知和社会认知能力与社会信息处理倾向相关，但与情绪和行为困难无关。结果提示，阿斯伯格综合症儿童的共病症状可能与其社会知觉、理解和经验有关。
The factors that place children with Asperger syndrome at risk for comorbid psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, remain poorly understood. We investigated the possibility that the children's emotional and behavioral difficulties are associated with social information and attribution processing. Participants were children with either Asperger syndrome (n = 31) or typical development (n = 33). To assess social information and attribution processing, children responded to hypothetical social vignettes. They also completed self-report measures of social difficulties and psychological functioning. Their parents provided information on social competence and clinical presentation. Children with Asperger syndrome showed poor psychosocial adjustment, which was related to their social information and attribution processing patterns. Cognitive and social-cognitive abilities were associated with aspects of social information processing tendencies, but not with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Results suggest that the comorbid symptoms of children with Asperger syndrome may be associated with their social perception, understanding, and experience.
