Evaluating and Advancing the Measurement of Autistic Traits (upd 01/24)

这个项目将探索新的方法来量化自闭症相关的人格特征及其与一些社会相关现象的关系。为此，我们将利用已有的纵向数据集，并使用在线研究收集新数据，这些数据将使用在该研究领域很少使用的先进定量方法进行分析。博士学位将由来自认知心理学、社会心理学和生物心理学的跨学科学者小组指导，他们将贡献他们在自闭症和相关结构方面的专业知识。总之，它有可能提高对自闭症和更普遍的神经发育状况的理解。

This project will explore novel ways to quantify autism-related personality traits and their relationships with several socially relevant phenomena. To this end, we will draw on pre-existing longitudinal datasets, and collect new data using online studies, which will be analysed using advanced quantitative methods seldom used in this field of research. The PhD will be supervised by an interdisciplinary group of academics from cognitive, social, and biology psychology, contributing their expertise on autism and related constructs. Together, it has potential to improve understanding of autism and neurodevelopmental conditions more generally.
