Investigating the structure of the autism-spectrum quotient using Mokken scaling (2015)
Journal Article
Stewart, M. E., Allison, C., Baron-Cohen, S., & Watson, R. (2015). Investigating the structure of the autism-spectrum quotient using Mokken scaling. Psychological assessment, 27(2), 596-604. https://doi.org/10.1037/pas0000058

Traits similar to those shown in autism spectrum condition (ASC) are apparent in relatives of individuals with ASC, and in the general population without necessarily meeting diagnostic criteria for an ASC. We assess whether the Autism-Spectrum Quotie... Read More about Investigating the structure of the autism-spectrum quotient using Mokken scaling.
