Autism and Social Experiences research

Rosie Mod 1 day ago

I’m Laura Murrie, a PhD in psychology researcher at the University of Strathclyde who is supervised by Dr Steve Kelly, Dr Karen Deakin and Dr Anna Robinson. Research suggests that some individual differences in characteristics such as personality, behaviour and demographics (e.g., ethnicity, age) means that you may be more likely to have certain social experiences, and for you to display further behaviour based on those experiences. Autistic and non-autistic people can share similar characteristics, social experiences, patterns of disclosure and behaviours, yet autistic people report more negative social experiences. We would like to understand if autistic (formally or self-diagnosed) and non-autistic people who have similar characteristics also have similar or differing social experiences and behaviour. In understanding more about these relationships, we hope to be able to suggest ways of improving negative social experiences.

The study should last no longer than 45 minutes. By accessing the following link, you can read an information sheet with more details about the study: https://hass.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6SGdQEqm66695Pw. From there, you can access the study itself if you wish to take part. For any questions, please email me at laura.murrie@strath.ac.uk.
