Abstract

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to predict and explain others’ behavior based on the mental representations of their intentions, desire and knowledge. ToM measures have been introduced, however, some concerns such as high dependence on verbal memory or external cues have been raised. Social Attribution Test-Multiple Choice (SAT-MC, Bell et al., 2010) is known to be less reliant on verbal ability or external cues as the SAT-MC assesses participants’ ability to detect and understand the intent of the movement. In the current study, we aimed to translate the SAT-MC into Korean and to evaluate its feasibility and preliminary validity in a Korean sample of college students. The results showed that 98% of participants made immediate social attributions to the animations of two triangles and a circle, even without external cues. The SAT-MC appeared to have a singe factor structure and acceptable internal consistency, as reported in Western samples. The SAT-MC scores had significant positive correlations with those on other ToM measures but non-significant correlations with those on facial affect perception tasks. It is concluded that the SAT-MC would be feasibly applicable to measure ToM of Korean samples. Thus, in future studies, it should be examined whether the SAT-MC measures ToM with good reliability and validity in specific samples with various clinical conditions such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia.
