Dataset: Exploring the Relationships Between Autism Traits, Face Recognition Abilities, Cradling Preferences, and Personality Traits

Autism, prosopagnosia, and atypical cradling are linked to altered lateralization and socio-emotional patterns. This study explores how autism traits, cradling-side preferences, and face recognition abilities predict personality traits. Three-hundred neurotypical adults (150 males) completed a survey including the autism spectrum quotient (AQ), imaged cradling preferences, Prosopagnosia index-20 (PI-20), and the Big Five Personality (BFQ). Results showed a strong LCB, unaffected by sex, handedness, parental status, autism traits, or face recognition abilities. AQ negatively predicted Extraversion, Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, and Openness. LCB correlated with higher Agreeableness and moderated the negative association between AQ and Extraversion. These findings suggest cradling preferences and autism traits influence personality, possibly reflecting reduced right-hemisphere specialization in emotional processing and social behavior.

孤独症（Autism）、面孔失认症（prosopagnosia）与非典型抱姿（atypical cradling）均与大脑偏侧化改变及社会情绪模式异常相关。本研究旨在探讨孤独症特质、抱姿侧偏好及面孔识别能力对人格特质的预测效应。共计300名神经典型成年人（其中男性150名）完成了包含孤独症谱系商数（Autism Spectrum Quotient, AQ）、抱姿偏好测评、面孔失认指数量表-20（Prosopagnosia Index-20, PI-20）以及大五人格量表（Big Five Personality Questionnaire, BFQ）的问卷调查。结果显示存在显著的左侧抱姿偏好偏差（LCB），且该偏差不受性别、利手、生育状况、孤独症特质及面孔识别能力的影响。孤独症谱系商数（AQ）对外倾性（Extraversion）、宜人性（Agreeableness）、情绪稳定性（Emotional Stability）及开放性（Openness）均具有负向预测作用。左侧抱姿偏好偏差（LCB）与更高水平的宜人性呈正相关，且可调节孤独症谱系商数（AQ）与外倾性之间的负相关关系。本研究结果表明，抱姿偏好与孤独症特质可对人格特征产生影响，这或许反映了情绪加工与社会行为中右脑特化程度的降低。
