Methodological ANR-Lab Seminar “Determinants of perceptions of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Russia”

Event ended

On Monday, May 16, at 20:00, a scientific seminar of the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research will be held, where ANR-Lab members will discuss the article draft of Irina Zangieva and Kirill Lesnykh based on their research on the perceptions of ASD people in Russia. 


The main goal of this study is to understand what factors are considered to be determinants of people's perceptions and attitudes towards people with ASD. This is a quantitative study; the data was collected through an online social media survey. A total of 1670 respondents were interviewed, of which 1347 people completed the survey completely. Data collection was based on a quota; the following quotas were derived: age, type of city of residence, gender, experience of conscious communication with a person with ASD. Results: four types of perception of autistic people were derived: "People with ASD are with developmental defects", "People with ASD have problems with communication and socialization", "People with ASD have behavioral problems", "People with ASD live in their own world." No relationship was found between types of perception and attitudes towards people with ASD. 

If you would like to participate in the seminar, please write to the research assistant of the laboratory Aryuna Kim (avkim@hse.ru, +7 (910) 416-72-82).
