Research on the role of social problem-solving in the relationship between autistic traits and depression is still in its nascent stage and more detailed research is required.
We aimed to investigate the mediating role of problem-solving in the relationship between autistic traits and depression. A sample of 376 university students were assessed on depression, problem-solving and autism-spectrum quotient in 2019 at Shahed University, Tehran, Iran.
Social problem-solving played the role of a partial mediator in the relationship between autistic traits and depression. Positive problem orientation and negative problem-solving style fully mediated the effects of autistic traits on depression.
Since people with autistic traits have deficits in problem-solving strategies, they may be vulnerable to symptoms of depression. Increasing the ability of positive problem-solving and decreasing negative problem orientation may serve as a buffer against depression in people with autistic traits.
关于社会问题解决在自闭症特质与抑郁关系中的作用的研究仍处于初期阶段,需要更详细的研究。
我们旨在研究问题解决在自闭症特质与抑郁关系中的中介作用。2019年,在伊朗德黑兰的沙希德大学,对376名大学生进行了抑郁、问题解决和自闭症谱系商数的评估。
社会问题解决在自闭症特质与抑郁关系中起部分中介作用。积极问题取向和消极问题解决方式完全中介了自闭症特质对抑郁的影响。
由于具有自闭症特质的人在问题解决策略方面存在缺陷,他们可能易患抑郁症状。提高积极问题解决能力和降低消极问题取向可能对具有自闭症特质的人的抑郁起到缓冲作用。
