Can adults on the autistic spectrum learn to recognise typical empathic responses?’
Do rates of empathy (cognitive and affective) vary between ASD and Neurotypical individuals when controlling for social desirability?
Research hypotheses:
The key hypothesis derived from the research theory are:
Hypothesis I: There will be positive relationship between self-reported empathy (EQ-short task) and empathy recognition (Reading the mind in films task).
Null Hypothesis: There is a no relationship between self-reported empathy (EQ-short task) and empathy recognition (Reading the mind in films task). There will be no difference between self-reported empathy and empathy recognition when social desirability (social desirability scale) is included.
