尽管有大量关于自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 患者社交技能缺陷领域的文献，但很少有研究探讨特定社交认知技能与日常功能中复杂社交行为之间的关系。这就是本研究的目的。参与者是 37 名（26 名男性和 11 名女性）6-18 岁的被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童和青少年。为了确定在控制一般智力能力后，由五个直接评估的社会认知变量（即成人和儿童的面部和声音情感识别和社会判断）的线性组合所解释的父母评价的复杂社会行为的方差量，进行了分层回归分析。变量的线性组合占家长评价复杂社会行为方差的 35.4%。成人声音中的声音情感识别与自闭症谱系障碍患者的复杂社会行为的关联性最强。结果表明，声音情感理解的评估和训练应该是自闭症谱系障碍患者社交技能干预的重要组成部分。
Although there is an extensive literature on domains of social skill deficits in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), little research has examined the relation between specific social cognitive skills and complex social behaviors in daily functioning. This was the aim of the present study. Participants were 37 (26 male and 11 female) children and adolescents aged 6–18 years diagnosed with ASD. To determine the amount of variance in parent-rated complex social behavior accounted for by the linear combination of five directly-assessed social cognitive variables (i.e., adult and child facial and vocal affect recognition and social judgment) after controlling for general intellectual ability, a hierarchical regression analysis was performed. The linear combination of variables accounted for 35.4 % of the variance in parent-rated complex social behavior. Vocal affect recognition in adult voices showed the strongest association with complex social behavior in ASD. Results suggest that assessment and training in vocal affective comprehension should be an important component of social skills interventions for individuals with ASD.
