Reasoning about self and others: A dynamic process

BackgroundIt can be very challenging for practitioners to talk with autistic children, especially when the conversation calls for self-regulation. Self-regulation is inextricably linked to awareness of oneself and others in social contexts. Encouraging the need for autonomy could help increase self-awareness and awareness of others in social events, which in turn could strengthen self-regulation. However, little is known about how autonomy influences competence in reasoning about self and others when regarding social events in which autistic children participate. This study explores the reasoning of self-other awareness on a microlevel timescale using ipsative, dynamic approaches to autism. The central question in this study is: to what extent can autonomy-provided scaffolding (APS) elicit high levels of reasoning about self-others in social events (RSS) over time?MethodWe used video-taped interaction data from three sessions between one autistic child and a practitioner, contextualized by a set of animated DSM-5-based items of social events on which the child was asked to reflect. Interaction variables were the child's level of RSS and the practitioner's level of APS. We coded the real-time interaction.ResultsFirst, when exploring the dynamics of the microdata, we found contingency over time within sessions. Second, over the sessions, the practitioner showed a stable high level of APS, whereas the child's level of RSS increased. Third, a coupling effect between the level of APS and RSS was found within and over sessions. Salient is that the child and practitioner increasingly adapted to each other over the three sessions, and over time, high-level APS of the practitioner elicited higher levels of RSS of the child.DiscussionBecause the child showed a significant improvement in RSS over time, our research question provides a promising perspective. Contrary to what one might expect in autism, APS supported the performance of the child in reasoning about self-others in social situations. These outcomes underline the importance of giving voice to autistic children. The results may encourage researchers to develop strategies and tools that can help give a voice to children, to gain more insight into the child's reasoning. This may further develop self-other awareness and self-regulation in the social events of autistic children.

Understanding the actions of others is important for predicting whether their intentions are honest or deceitful. Common-coding theory [Prinz, W. (1997). Perception and action planning. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 9(2), 129-154. https://doi.org/10.1080/713752551] suggests that the capability to produce a deceptive action could influence the ability to perceive the same action (and vice versa), but can an actor easily fool themselves? The aim of this study was to investigate whether individuals are better able to anticipate the outcome of their own deceptive actions than when others anticipate those same actions. Eighteen skilled rugby players were filmed performing deceptive (side-step) and non-deceptive actions. Eight equally skilled rugby players anticipated the outcomes of the filmed actions (i.e., viewing deceptive actions generated by others) and, six-months after filming, the original group of eighteen rugby players anticipated the action outcome of their own deceptive actions (i.e., viewing self-generated deceptive actions). Results revealed that players were no better at anticipating the outcomes of their own actions than others were. Instead, the response behaviour of the individuals viewing their own actions was indistinguishable from that of others viewing the same actions. In contrast with what might be expected based on common-coding theory, these findings suggest that the typical advantage of self-observation might be negated when the observer has acquired considerable amounts of visual experience in that observation task.
