People differ in how strongly they believe that, in general, one gets what (s)he deserves (i.e., individual differences in the general belief in a just world). In this study (N = 588; n = 60 with a formal autism diagnosis), whether or not autistic people and those with high autistic traits have a relatively low general belief in a just world is examined. The results revealed the expected relationship between autism/higher autistic traits and a lower general belief in a just world. In a subsample (n = 388), personal belief in a just world, external locus of control, and self-deception mediated this relationship. These findings are discussed in terms of autistic strengths (less biased information processing) and problems (lowered well-being).
人们对“一般来说,一个人得到他(她)应得的东西”这一观点的相信程度存在差异(即,一般公正世界信念的个体差异)。在这项研究中(N=588;n=60 人有正式的自闭症诊断),研究了自闭症患者和具有高自闭症特征的人是否具有相对较低的公正世界一般信念。结果表明,自闭症/较高的自闭症特征与较低的公正世界一般信念之间存在预期的关系。在一个子样本中(n=388),公正世界个人信念、外部控制点和自我欺骗中介了这种关系。这些发现是根据自闭症的优势(较少有偏差的信息处理)和问题(幸福感降低)来讨论的。
