Social decision making is often challenging for autistic individuals. Twenty autistic adolescents made decisions in the socially interactive context of a one-shot ultimatum game, and performance was compared to a large matched typical reference sample. Theory of mind, executive functioning and emotion regulation were measured via direct assessments, self- and parent report. Relative to the reference sample, autistic adolescents proposed fewer fair offers, and this was associated with poorer theory of mind. Autistic adolescents responded similarly to the reference sample when making decisions about offers proposed to them, however they did not appear to down regulate their negative emotion in response to unfair treatment in the same way. Atypical processes may underpin even apparently typical decisions made by autistic adolescents.
社交决策对于自闭症个体来说通常具有挑战性。20 名自闭症青少年在单次最后通牒博弈的社交互动情境中做出决策，并与大型匹配的典型参考样本进行比较。通过直接评估、自我报告和家长报告来测量心理理论、执行功能和情绪调节。与参考样本相比，自闭症青少年提出的公平提议较少，这与较差的心理理论有关。自闭症青少年在对向他们提出的提议做出决策时，与参考样本的反应相似，但他们似乎没有像参考样本那样对不公平待遇做出同样的负性情绪调节。非典型的过程可能是自闭症青少年做出的看似典型的决策的基础。
