In the current study, the child AQ was administered in Japan, to examine whether the UK results for reliability and validity generalize to a different culture. Assessment groups were: Group 1: n = 81 children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n = 22 children diagnosed PDD-NOS with average IQ; and Group 3: n = 372 randomly selected controls from primary and secondary schools. Both clinical groups scored significantly higher than controls (AS/HFA mean AQ = 31.9, SD = 6.93; PDD-NOS mean AQ = 28.0, SD = 6.88; controls mean AQ = 11.7, SD = 5.94). Among the controls, males scored significantly higher than females. The pattern of difference between clinical groups and controls was found to be similar in both countries.
在当前研究中，儿童孤独症谱系商数（AQ）测试在日本进行，以检验英国关于该测试信效度的结果能否推广到不同文化背景中。评估组包括：第一组：n = 81名患有阿斯伯格综合征（AS）或高功能孤独症（HFA）的儿童；第二组：n = 22名被诊断为非特定型广泛性发育障碍（PDD-NOS）且智商处于平均水平的儿童；第三组：n = 372名从小学和中学随机选取的对照组儿童。两个临床组的得分均显著高于对照组（AS/HFA组平均AQ = 31.9，标准差 = 6.93；PDD-NOS组平均AQ = 28.0，标准差 = 6.88；对照组平均AQ = 11.7，标准差 = 5.94）。在对照组中，男性得分显著高于女性。结果发现，临床组与对照组之间的差异模式在两个国家是相似的。
