“…No group differences were observed on self-ratings on the EQ, the SQ, or the D-score, see Table 3. The EQ scores for both groups reported here (ASD=19.60; non-ASD =21.68) are lower than previously reported population mean (EQ=44.3; Wheelwright et al 2006). SQ ratings from the two groups (ASD=60.51; non-ASD =56.60) are in line with previous population means (SQ=55.6; Wheelwright et al 2006).…”

“…Cohen's effect size value (d=.48) suggested a moderate practical significance. It is worth noting that for both groups these scores are high compared to typical population ratings (AQ=15; Wheelwright et al 2006). No group differences were observed on self-ratings on the EQ, the SQ, or the D-score, see Table 3.…”

“…The EQ and SQ were developed as self-report screening tools to examine traits common in ASD, namely the empathy component of social cognition in the EQ, and the drive to analyse and construct rules in the SQ (Baron- Cohen and Wheelwright, 2004;Baron-Cohen et al 2003). The EQ and SQ have been shown to be reliable measures of independent ASD traits (Allison et al 2011;Wheelwright et al 2006). As well as scores on these questionnaires, we report the D-score, the difference between empathising and systemising quotients (Wheelwright et al 2006).…”

“…This provided an opportunity for participants to indicate that they did not believe the receiver manipulation. Participants completed three personality scales, the Dutch versions of the EQ (Baron- Cohen & Wheelwright, 2004), the SQ-R (Wheelwright et al, 2006), and the NCS (Cacioppo et al, 1996).…”

a b s t r a c tThe ability to design tailored messages for specific listeners is an important aspect of human communication. The present study investigates whether a mere belief about an addressee's identity influences the generation and production of a communicative message in a novel, non-verbal communication task. Participants were made to believe they were playing a game with a child or an adult partner, while a confederate acted as both child and adult partners with matched performance and response times. The participants' belief influenced their behavior, spending longer when interacting with the presumed child addressee, but only during communicative portions of the game, i.e. using time as a tool to place emphasis on target information. This communicative adaptation attenuated with experience, and it was related to personality traits, namely Empathy and Need for Cognition measures. Overall, these findings indicate that novel nonverbal communicative interactions are selected according to a socio-centric perspective, and they are strongly influenced by participants' traits.

The broader autism phenotype (BAP) has been conceptualized as a constellation of subclinical traits that parallel the deficits observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The BAP is thought to represent an intermediate phenotype that is more frequently observed in family members of individuals with ASD. This chapter discusses methodological issues in the assessment of the BAP and describes the domains thought to characterize the BAP in family members and in the general population. It also provides a brief discussion of the etiological significance of the BAP.
