BACKGROUND
Experience sampling is a powerful method for obtaining ecologically valid data from research participants in real-world contexts. Given the urgent need for innovative and sensitive outcome measures in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research, the present study sought to examine the feasibility of using experience sampling of positive affect and behavior in adolescents with ASD.
METHOD
Nineteen high functioning adolescents with ASD and 20 sex and age matched controls completed smartphone- and Qualtrics® -based experience sampling of positive affect and behavior six times over four days.
RESULTS
Adherence was excellent: adolescents with ASD completed 85% of the assessments, compared to 93% in controls, and response rates were not impacted by age or IQ. Groups did not differ in positive affect overall or as a function of activities, nor did groups differ in the proportion of assessments completed during social or nonsocial activities. However, groups did differ in the proportion of assessments completed during preferred activities.
CONCLUSIONS
Results suggest that smartphone- and Qualtrics® -based experience sampling with high functioning adolescents with ASD is feasible and captures real-world behaviors that would not be possible using laboratory-based measures.
背景
经验抽样是一种在现实世界背景下从研究参与者那里获取生态有效数据的有力方法。鉴于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）研究迫切需要创新且敏感的结果测量方法，本研究旨在检验对患有ASD的青少年使用积极情绪和行为的经验抽样的可行性。
方法
19名高功能ASD青少年和20名性别与年龄匹配的对照组在四天内完成了六次基于智能手机和Qualtrics®的积极情绪和行为经验抽样。
结果
依从性极佳：患有ASD的青少年完成了85%的评估，而对照组为93%，且回复率不受年龄或智商的影响。两组在总体积极情绪或作为活动函数的积极情绪方面没有差异，在社交或非社交活动期间完成的评估比例方面也没有差异。然而，两组在偏好活动期间完成的评估比例存在差异。
结论
结果表明，对患有ASD的高功能青少年进行基于智能手机和Qualtrics®的经验抽样是可行的，并且能够捕捉到使用基于实验室的测量方法无法获得的现实世界行为。
