Abstract

The social motivation hypothesis states that people with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) have a diminished social motivation, that is (1) less priority in attention for objects of social importance, (2) diminished social reward, and (3) less desire to maintain and strengthen relationships. Little is known about the perception of autistic people on their social motivation. This study used semi-structured interviews to explore how eleven autistic men perceived their social motivation, behaviour, and interactions. In the interpretative phenomenological analysis, five themes were identified: (1) social network, (2) importance of social contact, (3) challenges regarding social contact, (4) conditionality of social contact, and (5) the struggle between importance, challenges and conditionality of social contact. Social motivation appeared to be a dynamic concept that varied between individuals and contexts. Most participants struggled between valuing social contact as important and the challenges they faced on a social level over the different contexts in which they participated. Even though elements of the social motivation hypothesis were recognized, the main finding was that this struggle seemed to be the source of the diminished social motivation that was observed in some of these men. Although more research is needed, the findings of this study could imply that social motivation might not be as straightforward for autistic men as described in the social motivation hypothesis.

"我知道这样做很好":探索自闭症男性社会动机视角的定性研究》。
社会动机假说认为,自闭症患者的社会动机会减弱,即(1)对社会重要对象的注意力不那么集中;(2)社会回报减少;以及(3)维持和加强人际关系的愿望减弱。人们对自闭症患者的社交动机知之甚少。本研究采用半结构式访谈,探讨 11 名男性自闭症患者如何看待自己的社交动机、行为和互动。在解释现象学分析中,确定了五个主题:(1) 社交网络,(2) 社交接触的重要性,(3) 社交接触的挑战,(4) 社交接触的条件性,(5) 社交接触的重要性、挑战和条件性之间的斗争。社交动机似乎是一个动态概念,因人而异,因环境而异。大多数参与者在他们所参与的不同情境中,既重视社会接触的重要性,又面临社会层面的挑战。尽管社会动机假设的要素得到了认可,但主要发现是,这种挣扎似乎是在其中一些男性身上观察到的社会动机减弱的根源。尽管还需要更多的研究,但本研究的结果可能意味着,对于自闭症男性来说,社交动机可能并不像社交动机假说中描述的那样简单。
