This study piloted a role play assessment of conversational skills for adolescents and young adults with high-functioning autism/Asperger syndrome (HFA/AS). Participants completed two semi-structured role plays, in which social context was manipulated by changing the confederate's level of interest in the conversation. Participants' social behavior was rated via a behavioral coding system, and performance was compared across contexts and groups. An interaction effect was found for several items, whereby control participants showed significant change across context, while participants with HFA/AS showed little or no change. Total change across contexts was significantly correlated with related social constructs and significantly predicted ASD. The findings are discussed in terms of the potential utility of the CASS in the evaluation of social skill.
本研究采用角色扮演评估法对高功能自闭症/阿斯伯格综合征（HFA/AS）青少年和年轻成人的会话技能进行了初探。参与者完成了两个半结构化的角色扮演，通过改变同伴对对话的兴趣程度来操纵社会情境。参与者的社交行为通过行为编码系统进行评分，并在不同情境和群体中进行比较。在几个项目中发现了交互效应，即对照组参与者在情境变化中表现出显著变化，而 HFA/AS 组参与者变化很小或没有变化。整个情境变化与相关的社交结构显著相关，并显著预测了 ASD。这些发现从 CASS 在社交技能评估中的潜在效用方面进行了讨论。
