Most individuals with autism spectrum disorders often fail in tasks of theory of mind (ToM). However, those with normal intellectual functioning known as high functioning ASD (HF-ASD) sometimes succeed in mentalizing inferences. Some tools have been developed to more accurately test their ToM abilities. The aims of this study were to examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of Stories of Everyday Life Test (SEL) in a sample of 29 children and adolescents with HF-ASD and 25 typically developing controls and to compare their performance. The Spanish-SEL demonstrated good internal consistency, strong convergence with clinical severity and another ToM test, and adequate discriminant validity from intellectual capability and age, identifying the condition of 70 % of participants.
大多数自闭症谱系障碍患者在心理理论(ToM)任务中常常失败。然而,那些智力功能正常的高功能自闭症(HF-ASD)患者有时能够成功进行心理推理。已经开发了一些工具来更准确地测试他们的ToM能力。本研究的目的是在29名患有HF-ASD的儿童和青少年以及25名发育正常的对照组样本中,检验西班牙语版日常生活故事测试(SEL)的心理测量特性,并比较他们的表现。西班牙语版SEL表现出良好的内部一致性,与临床严重程度和另一项ToM测试有很强的收敛性,并且与智力能力和年龄有足够的区分效度,能够识别70%参与者的状况。
