Abstract
This pilot study aims to investigate the content validity of the newly-developed Social Processing Schedule (SPS). It comprises of 7 social video vignettes and a structured interview schedule for assessing the subjects’ social processing on six dimensions: (1) visual encoding of social information, (2) auditory encoding of social information, (3) perception of social context, (4) emotional recognition and social reasoning from own perspective, (5) awareness of others’ emotions and thoughts, and (6) anticipation / prediction of impact of own behavior on others’ emotion. Based on the interview data, the interviewer will further rate the subject’s social processing on a likert scale according to the six dimensions. The rating scale has undergone content review by experts and will undergo Rasch analysis in order to obtain more information on its psychometric properties. Once the measure is found valid and reliable, the SPS will be used to discriminate social processing between individuals with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders and their peers in the controlled group in future studies.
