Emotion recognition and music in children with neurodevelopmental problems

许多自闭症患者在移情方面遇到困难（Sucksmith等人，2019年）。Song及其同事（2019）的荟萃分析表明，自闭症患者通常表现出较低的认知同理心（观点采择）和同理心关注（同情回应的驱动力/能力），但情感同理心（自我的核心情感反应）相对于非自闭症控制水平较高。这表明，许多自闭症患者难以理解强烈共情状态的来源和反应。这种情感移情过度唤醒可能会导致痛苦（Smith，2009），对幸福感产生负面影响（Bos & Stokes，2019），并增加焦虑的风险（Milosavlijevic等人，2013年）。因此，迫切需要行为干预，以a）建立情感移情状态的性质，来源和反应的广泛概念，B）评估移情作为一个多方面的结构。目前，这种干预很少试图从一个有益的，情感信息的基础上建立这些概念化-如音乐。

Many autistic people experience difficulty with aspects of empathy (Sucksmith et al., 2019). Song and colleagues (2019) meta-analysis indicated that autistic individuals often exhibit lower cognitive empathy (perspective taking) and empathic concern (the drive/ability to respond compassionately), but higher levels of affective empathy (core affective response in the self) relative to non-autistic controls. This suggests that many autistic people have difficulty comprehending the source of - and responding to - intense empathic states. This affective empathic over-arousal may cause distress (Smith, 2009), negatively impact well-being (Bos & Stokes, 2019) and heightening risk of anxiety (Milosavlijevic et al., 2013). There is therefore a pressing need for behavioural interventions that work to a) build broadened concepts of the nature of, sources of and responses to affective empathic states and b) evaluate empathy as a multifaceted construct. Currently, such interventions rarely attempt to build these conceptualisations from a rewarding, emotionally informative base - such as music.
