这项研究考察了母亲对自闭症儿童的意向性判断与家庭相关变量之间的关系。36名自闭症儿童的母亲对后来被诊断为自闭症的幼儿的家庭行为录像带片段进行了评分。母亲们被随机分配到诊断信息组和非诊断信息组。在意向性的总体评分上没有发现显著差异。母亲的压力与任何一组的总体意向性评分都没有相关性。诊断信息组的母亲认为刻板印象的行为不那么刻意。事后分析显示，当孩子处于社交环境中或与物体互动时，母亲对意向性的评分没有差异，但当孩子独自一人时，母亲对意向性的评分存在显著差异。研究结果与自闭症的早期发展和识别问题有关。
This study examined the relation among maternal judgment of intentionality and variables relevant to families of children with autism. Thirty-six mothers of children with autism rated segments of home videotape of behavior from very young children later diagnosed with autism. Mothers were randomly assigned to either a diagnostic or a no diagnostic information group. No significant difference was found on overall ratings of intentionality. Maternal stress was not correlated with overall ratings of intentionality for either group. Mothers in the diagnostic information group rated stereotyped behavior as less intentional. Post hoc analyses showed no differences on maternal ratings of intentionality when the child was in a social setting or interacting with an object, but there were significant differences between ratings when the child was alone. The results are discussed in relation to early development and identification issues in autism.
