The broader autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of subclinical traits qualitatively similar to those observed in autism spectrum disorders. The current study sought to elucidate the association between self- and informant-reports of the BAP and friendships, in a non-clinical sample of college student dyads. Self-informant agreement of the BAP and friendship similarity was evaluated, and the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to test how both friends' BAP characteristics jointly and uniquely contribute to the experiences of friendships. Results suggest self-informant agreement about the BAP, friendship closeness, quality, and conflict. Actor effects were observed for the BAP and friendship values, quality, conflict, and loneliness. Findings suggest that the BAP relates in meaningful ways to self-perceptions of friendship variables in the general population.
广泛自闭症表型(BAP)是一组亚临床特征,其性质与自闭症谱系障碍中观察到的特征相似。本研究旨在阐明非临床大学生二人组中,个体自身报告和知情人报告的 BAP 与友谊之间的关联。评估了 BAP 和友谊相似性的自我报告和知情人报告的一致性,并使用演员-伙伴相互依存模型来测试朋友的 BAP 特征如何共同和独特地影响友谊体验。结果表明,BAP、友谊亲密程度、质量和冲突方面存在自我报告和知情人报告的一致性。在 BAP 和友谊价值、质量、冲突和孤独感方面观察到了演员效应。研究结果表明,BAP 以有意义的方式与一般人群中对友谊变量的自我认知相关。
