It has long been known that psychopathology can influence social perception, but a 2D framework of mind perception provides the opportunity for an integrative understanding of some disorders. We examined the covariation of mind perception with three subclinical syndromes--autism-spectrum disorder, schizotypy, and psychopathy--and found that each presents a unique mind-perception profile. Autism-spectrum disorder involves reduced perception of agency in adult humans. Schizotypy involves increased perception of both agency and experience in entities generally thought to lack minds. Psychopathy involves reduced perception of experience in adult humans, children, and animals. Disorders are differentially linked with the over- or underperception of agency and experience in a way that helps explain their real-world consequences.
长期以来,人们一直知道精神病理学可以影响社会知觉,但心智知觉的 2D 框架为理解某些障碍提供了一个综合的机会。我们研究了心智知觉与三种亚临床综合征(自闭症谱系障碍、精神分裂症特质和精神变态)的共变关系,发现每种综合征都呈现出独特的心智知觉特征。自闭症谱系障碍涉及到对成人能动性的感知减少。精神分裂症特质涉及到对通常被认为没有思想的实体的能动性和经验的感知增加。精神变态涉及到对成人、儿童和动物经验的感知减少。这些障碍与能动性和经验的过度或不足感知有着不同的联系,这有助于解释它们在现实世界中的后果。
