The present study examined whether the ability to recognize vocal emotional expressions is negatively related to features of the Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP) in the general population. We assessed 61 typically developing adults on a BAP self-report measure (Broader Autism Phenotype Questionnaire) and a purpose-developed online emotion recognition task for efficient delivery of non-linguistic vocal stimuli corresponding to the six basic emotions. Contrary to expectations, we found that higher self-ratings of rigid BAP traits correlated with better recognition accuracy and higher intensity ratings for angry voices. We interpret this anger-specific association as an advantage for enhanced threat detection in the BAP and discuss this finding in the broader context of personality research and interpersonal theory.
本研究考察了在普通人群中，识别声音情绪表达的能力是否与广泛自闭症表型（BAP）的特征呈负相关。我们在一项 BAP 自我报告量表（广泛自闭症表型问卷）和一项专门开发的在线情绪识别任务中评估了 61 名典型的成年人，该任务用于有效地提供对应于六种基本情绪的非语言声音刺激。与预期相反，我们发现刻板的 BAP 特征的自我评分越高，对愤怒声音的识别准确性和强度评分越高。我们将这种愤怒特有的关联解释为在 BAP 中增强威胁检测的优势，并在更广泛的人格研究和人际理论背景下讨论这一发现。
