由于社会交往和认知功能的差异,与神经典型的成年人相比,自闭症成年人可能更难以参与和检测欺骗。因此,自闭症成年人可能会经历紧张的社会关系或面临增加的受害风险。因此,至关重要的是,研究调查导致自闭症成年人在欺骗过程中遇到困难的心理机制,以便为降低风险所需的干预措施提供信息。然而,现有研究探索自闭症欺骗的弱点包括对儿童的重视和对潜在心理机制的有限理论探索。为了解决这些弱点,这篇综述旨在为自闭症成年后的欺骗研究引入一个系统层面的理论框架:BrunswikLens欺骗模型。这里,我们全面介绍了自闭症如何影响所有参与欺骗的过程,包括:选择撒谎(1),产生欺骗线索(2),感知欺骗线索(3),并做出准确性决定(4)。这篇综述还提供了基于证据的,关于自闭症和神经典型成年人的行为在欺骗过程的每个阶段可能有所不同的理论预测和可测试的假设。呼吁组织未来与联合理论观点有关的研究,这将鼓励该领域做出实质性的,从理论上讲,这是对自闭症成年欺骗综合模型发展的动力。此外,在未来的自闭症研究中使用Brunswik欺骗镜头模型可能有助于制定干预措施,以帮助保护自闭症成年人免受操纵和伤害。
Due to differences in social communication and cognitive functioning, autistic adults may have greater difficulty engaging in and detecting deception compared to neurotypical adults. Consequently, autistic adults may experience strained social relationships or face increased risk of victimization. It is therefore crucial that research investigates the psychological mechanisms that are responsible for autistic adults\' difficulties in the deception process in order to inform interventions required to reduce risk. However, weaknesses of extant research exploring
deception in autism include a heavy focus on children and limited theoretical exploration of underlying psychological mechanisms. To address these weaknesses, this review aims to introduce a system-level theoretical framework to the study of deception in autistic adulthood: The Brunswik Lens Model of
Deception. Here, we provide a comprehensive account of how autism may influence all processes involved in
deception, including: Choosing to Lie (1), Producing
Deception Cues (2), Perceiving
Deception Cues (3), and Making the Veracity Decision (4). This review also offers evidence-based, theoretical predictions and testable hypotheses concerning how autistic and neurotypical adults\' behavior may differ at each stage in the deception process. The call to organize future research in relation to a joint theoretical perspective will encourage the field to make substantive, theoretically motivated progress toward the development of a comprehensive model of deception in autistic adulthood. Moreover, the utilization of the Brunswik Lens Model of
Deception in future autism research may assist in the development of interventions to help protect autistic adults against manipulation and victimization.
