Although the core characteristics associated with autistic traits are impaired social interactions, there are few studies examining how autistic traits translate into prosocial behaviour in daily life. The current study explored the effect of autistic traits on prosocial behaviour and the mediating role of multimodal empathy (trait empathy and state empathic concern). The results showed that autistic traits reduced prosocial behaviour directly and indirectly through complex mediation by multimodal empathy. The findings revealed the internal mechanism of autistic traits impeding prosocial behaviour and expanded our understandings of social behaviour in autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) and autistic traits in the general population. Furthermore, the results have implications for social adaptability interventions for individuals with ASCs and high levels of autistic traits.
虽然与自闭症特征相关的核心特征是社交互动受损，但很少有研究探讨自闭症特征如何转化为日常生活中的亲社会行为。本研究探讨了自闭症特征对亲社会行为的影响，以及多模态同理心（特质同理心和状态共情关注）的中介作用。结果表明，自闭症特征通过多模态同理心的复杂中介作用直接和间接地降低了亲社会行为。研究结果揭示了自闭症特征阻碍亲社会行为的内在机制，拓展了我们对自闭症谱系障碍（ASCs）和一般人群中自闭症特征的社会行为的理解。此外，研究结果对 ASCs 个体和高自闭症特征个体的社会适应性干预具有启示意义。
