Social attribution processes and comorbid psychiatric symptoms in children with Asperger syndrome

Abstract: The factors that place children with Asperger syndrome at risk for comorbid psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, remain poorly understood. We investigated the possibility that the children's emotional and behavioral difficulties are associated with social information and attribution processing. Participants were children with either Asperger syndrome (n = 31) or typical development (n = 33).To assess social information and attribution processing, children responded to hypothetical social vigne… Show more

“…Their long-term outcomes, though, can be highly variable as some display improved social and communication skills, but others display a deterioration of these skills (Piven, Harper, Palmer, & Arndt, 1996). Moreover, variability in the social and emotional status of these children and their treatment is often complicated by symptoms of anxiety and other comorbid emotional or behavioral disorders (Ghaziuddin, Weidmer, & Ghaziuddin, 1998;Kim et al, 2000;Meyer et al, 2006;Soderstrom et al, 2002;Tonge, Bremerton, Gray, & Einfeld, 1999).A small empirical literature has begun to emerge regarding intervention development for these children. Several recent studies have used group comparison designs to examine the effects of social stories, verbal, and nonverbal social skills training, interactions with typical peers, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and computer face processing games as treatments for these children (Barnhill, Cook, Tebbenkamp, & Myles, 2002;Bauminger, 2002;Carter et al, 2004;Chiang, Lee, Frey, & McCormick, 2004;Nakabayashi & Matsumoto, 2003;Pakenham, Samios, & Sofronoff, 2005;Smith, Lovaas, & Lovaas, 2002;Solomon, Goodlin-Jones, & Anders, 2004;Sofronoff, Anthony, & Brown, 2004).…”

“…Nevertheless, recent theory and research suggest that several core psychological processes may be especially important in this regard. One of these involves the capacity to make attributions about the behaviors of others (Meyer et al, 2006), another involves motivational tendencies associated with approach and withdrawal (Sutton et al, 2005), and a third involves the capacity to selfmonitor goal-directed behavior . …”

“…A well-documented phenomenon, especially in high-functioning samples, is that of high rates of depression, withdrawal, anxiety, and negative affect or mood in ASD (Kim et al 2000;Meyer et al 2006;Schwartz et al 2009). Given the links of depression/negative mood with right-hemisphere dominance (Pizzagalli et al 2005;Sutton and Davidson 1997), it will be important for future treatment research to examine whether these co-occurring negative mood states are a cardinal aspect of the autism taxon, or are a true, separable, additional challenge experienced by many individuals on the autism spectrum.…”

“…Importantly, modifier processes, such as temperament/personality, cognitive style, and approach orientation, produce individual differences in well-being outcomes experienced by all people (Mundy et al 2007). These modifiers may also affect the phenotypic presentation and course of ASD, especially in highfunctioning individuals (Burnette et al 2011;Meyer et al 2006;Mundy et al 2007;Sutton et al 2005). Thus, it will be important to consider that treatments for ASD affecting these modifier processes may enhance well-being and adjustment via meeting psychological accessed by following the link in the citation at the bottom of the page.…”
