본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 자폐 성향이 높은 집단과 낮은 집단을 대상으로 집단에 따라 음성을 통한 정서인식능력에 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기 지역에 소재한 대학생 총 1,016명을 대상으로 자폐 성향을 평가하기 위해 자폐성척도와 공감척도를 사용하였다. 자폐성 척도 31점 이상이면서 상위 10%에 속하는 16명을 자폐 성향 상위집단, 하위 10%에 속하는 18명을 자폐 성향 하위집단으로 분류하였고, 목소리로 마음 읽기 과제 번안판(RMV-R)의 스크립트를 참고하여 연구자가 제작한 자극과 김유진(2015)의 연구에서 사용한 음성자극을 활용하여 음성을 통한 정서인식 능력을 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 자폐 성향 상/하위 집단 간 기본 정서를 인식하는 능력에서 유의미한 차이는 없었으나, 복합 정서를 인식하는 능력에서는 맥락의 여부에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 제한점에 대해 논의하였다.
This study aimed to examine how emotional recognition from voices differs in individuals with autistic traits. A total of 1,016 male and female college students who completed surveys measuring autistic traits were included. The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and the Empathy Quotient (EQ) were administered to measure autistic traits. Participants were divided into upper and lower groups, according to their autistic traits. A total of 34 (male=16, female=18) participants, including 16 from the upper group and 18 from the lower group, were selected. Vocal stimuli, which can be divided into two types, were used to measure auditory emotion recognition. Stimulus 1, which was created by the researcher, is used to examine complex emotions, and stimulus 2 is used to measure both basic and complex emotions. There were no significant differences in the ability to recognize basic emotions among the groups. However, the ability to recognize complex emotions was statistically significant depending on whether context was provided or not. This study’s clinical implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
