This study is to assess the complex emotion recognition ability for adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) in Korea. For this, the Mindreading Video Task was developed based on the Cambridge Mindreading Face Battery(CAM). We demonstrated, first if the difference existed in adolescents with ASD and the typically developing adolescents in facial emotion recognition abilities, and second, whether if the difference was influenced by their negative or positive emotions, and third, whether the emotion recognition abilities in adolescents with ASD were associated with their age, intelligence and autistic characters or not. In this study, 22 subjects with ASD aged between 13 and 17 and 22 typically developing controls, matched for age, were chosen to compare emotion recognition abilities. For the all subjects, a computer assignment which evaluates 18 complex emotion recognition ability was performed, and Autism-Spectrum Quotient(AQ) was administered additionally for the ASD adolescents. Statistical analysis was performed using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation analysis. The results yielded that the ASD group had scored significantly lower than the controls on the emotion recognition scores and the recognition accuracy scores. Furthermore, the ASD group scored lower than the controls on both positive and negative emotions, but their positive emotion recognition abilities were not significantly different from their negative emotion recognition abilities. Last, the total scores gained by the ASD group in the emotion recognition ability test did not show the significant correlations with age, intelligence and autistic characters. Based upon the findings, the implications and limitations on this research were furtherly discussed.
