Previous studies have revealed distinct features of autism, with higher harm avoidance and lower reward dependence and novelty seeking. It is assumed that high harm avoidance, and low novelty seeking, reward dependence, cooperativeness, and self-directedness are related with the broad autism phenotype, as seen in autistic individuals.
This study examined the association between the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), in parents of children with ASD.
There was significant correlation between total AQ and total harm avoidance, cooperativeness, and self-directedness (p < 0.05). In the stepwise analysis, self-directedness and education emerged significantly (F(2,67) = 19.71, p < .005). This model modestly explained 35% of variance (Adjusted R(2) = .350).
Our findings suggest that self-directedness may be an autistic trait.
先前的研究揭示了自闭症的不同特征，即更高的伤害回避、更低的奖励依赖和新奇寻求。据推测，高伤害回避、低新奇寻求、奖励依赖、合作性和自我导向与广泛的自闭症表型有关，正如在自闭症个体中所看到的那样。
本研究调查了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童家长的气质与性格问卷（TCI）和自闭症谱系商数（AQ）之间的关联。
AQ总分与伤害回避总分、合作性和自我导向之间存在显著相关性（p < 0.05）。在逐步分析中，自我导向和教育程度显著出现（F(2,67) = 19.71，p <.005）。该模型适度解释了35%的方差（调整后R(2) =.350）。
我们的研究结果表明，自我导向可能是一种自闭症特质。
