This study investigated the relationship between autistic traits, expressiveness, readability (both actual and perceived), social favourability, and likability. Sixty participants designated as 'targets' were video recorded in a range of social scenarios and their autistic traits were measured using the Autism Spectrum Quotient. The videos were then shown to 106 new participants designated 'perceivers', who were split into three groups to make judgments related to readability, expressiveness, and social favourability respectively. Mediation analyses revealed that autistic traits negatively impacted both perceived likeability and social favourability, mediated by lowered expressiveness. Autistic traits also directly impacted readability, which was not mediated by expressiveness. The findings show how the level of autistic traits of a target can influence how they are socially perceived by others.
本研究调查了自闭症特质、表达能力、可读性（实际和感知）、社交亲和力和可爱度之间的关系。60 名被指定为“目标”的参与者在一系列社交场景中进行了视频录制，并使用自闭症谱系商数测量了他们的自闭症特质。然后，这些视频被展示给 106 名新的被指定为“感知者”的参与者，他们被分为三组，分别对可读性、表达能力和社交亲和力进行判断。中介分析表明，自闭症特质通过降低表达能力，对感知的可爱度和社交亲和力产生负面影响。自闭症特质也直接影响可读性，而表达能力并不影响可读性。研究结果表明，目标的自闭症特质水平如何影响他人对他们的社交感知。
