The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the narrative performance of children and adolescents with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in terms of microstructure, macrostructure and internal state language.
A systematic literature search yielded 24 studies that met the predetermined inclusion criteria. Effect sizes for each study were calculated for eight variables and analyzed using a random effects model. Intellectual ability, age and type of narrative were considered as potential moderators.
Results revealed that the children with ASD performed significantly worse than their peers on all the variables considered.
Findings are discussed taking into account the main explanatory psychological autism theories. Implications for intervention and orientations for future research are suggested.
本荟萃分析的目的是从微观结构、宏观结构和内部状态语言方面分析高功能自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童和青少年的叙事表现。
系统的文献检索产生了24项符合预定纳入标准的研究。计算每项研究中八个变量的效应量,并使用随机效应模型进行分析。智力、年龄和叙事类型被视为潜在的调节因素。
结果显示,ASD儿童在所有考虑的变量上的表现明显比同龄人差。
结合主要的自闭症解释性心理学理论对研究结果进行了讨论。提出了干预的意义和未来研究的方向。
