这项试点调查评估了一个名为社会情绪神经科学内分泌学(SENSE)剧院的戏剧干预项目，该项目旨在改善自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的社会情绪功能，减轻压力。8名患有自闭症的儿童与作为专家模型的典型发育同龄人配对。神经心理学、生物学(皮质醇和催产素)和行为测量在前测-后测设计中进行评估。这一干预被嵌入了一部完整的音乐剧制作中。参与者在面孔识别和心理理论技能方面表现出一些改善。这项干预显示了通过利用同伴、视频和行为建模以及基于社区的戏剧环境来改善自闭症儿童的社会情绪功能的潜在希望。
The pilot investigation evaluated a theatrical intervention program, Social Emotional NeuroScience Endocrinology (SENSE) Theatre, designed to improve socioemotional functioning and reduce stress in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Eight children with ASD were paired with typically developing peers that served as expert models. Neuropsychological, biological (cortisol and oxytocin), and behavioral measures were assessed in a pretest-posttest design. The intervention was embedded in a full musical theatrical production. Participants showed some improvement in face identification and theory of mind skills. The intervention shows potential promise in improving the socioemotional functioning in children with ASD through the utilization of peers, video and behavioral modeling, and a community-based theatrical setting.
