This meta-analytic review examines the theory of mind profiles in both patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and autistic individuals.
The studies examining theory of mind were divided into the following categories: emotional theory of mind, understanding simple social situations, understanding complex social interactions, and implicit social attribution. All included studies investigated differences between healthy control (HCs) individuals and people with AN or autistic people. Differences in theory of mind profile between people with AN and autistic people were explored by conducting moderator analyses.
People with AN and autistic people showed a similar theory of mind profile, but autistic individuals showed greater difficulties, particularly in emotional theory of mind.
Although both people with AN and autistic people have significant difficulties in all aspects of theory of mind relative to the HCs, some differences in the underlying profile may be present. However, due to relative paucity of theory of mind research among people with AN, further research is still needed before firm conclusion can be drawn.
本荟萃分析研究考察了厌食症(AN)患者和自闭症个体的心理理论特征。
研究心理理论的研究分为以下几类:情绪心理理论、理解简单的社交情境、理解复杂的社交互动和内隐社会归因。所有纳入的研究都调查了健康对照组(HCs)个体与 AN 患者或自闭症患者之间的差异。通过进行调节分析,探讨了 AN 患者和自闭症患者之间心理理论特征的差异。
AN 患者和自闭症患者表现出相似的心理理论特征,但自闭症个体表现出更大的困难,特别是在情绪心理理论方面。
尽管 AN 患者和自闭症患者在心理理论的所有方面都相对于 HCs 有显著的困难,但在潜在的特征方面可能存在一些差异。然而,由于 AN 患者的心理理论研究相对较少,在得出确定的结论之前,仍需要进一步的研究。
