Self-conscious emotions, such as shame, guilt and pride, facilitate our social interactions by motivating us to adhere to social norms and external standards. In this study, we examined proneness to shame, guilt, hubristic pride and authentic pride in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder traits (ASD-T) and in neurotypical (NT) adults. Relations between proneness to self-conscious emotions and theory of mind (ToM), fear of negative evaluation, and social functioning were also assessed. Adults with ASD-T showed greater proneness to shame, and less proneness to guilt and pride than NT adults. Both ToM and fear of negative evaluation predicted proneness to self-conscious emotions in ASD-T. These findings are discussed in terms of understanding complex emotion processing in adults with ASD-T.
自我意识情绪，如羞耻、内疚和骄傲，通过激励我们遵守社会规范和外部标准，促进我们的社交互动。在这项研究中，我们研究了自闭症谱系障碍特征（ASD-T）的成年人和神经典型（NT）成年人中羞耻、内疚、傲慢和真实骄傲的倾向。还评估了自我意识情绪倾向与心理理论（ToM）、对负面评价的恐惧和社交功能之间的关系。ASD-T 成年人比 NT 成年人更容易感到羞耻，而不太容易感到内疚和骄傲。心理理论和对负面评价的恐惧都可以预测 ASD-T 中自我意识情绪的倾向。这些发现是从理解 ASD-T 成年人的复杂情绪处理的角度进行讨论的。
