Readability, expressiveness and social favourability judgments for targets with varying levels of autistic traits

This study examined the impact of autistic traits of targets on various aspects of perceivers perceptions. One group of perceivers made judgments that involved reading the targets' behaviour (readability); one group made judgments of the targets' expressiveness; and one group made judgments about targets' perceived levels of socially favourable traits as well as whether or not they liked the targets.
