Interventions

  • AI-Based Reflective Parenting Simulation — BEHAVIORAL
    An AI-based reflective parenting simulation designed for parents of autistic children aged 3 to 12 years. The simulation allows parents to practice reflective, emotionally regulated, and supportive responses to challenging parent-child situations, with an emphasis on parent-child communication, shared emotional regulation, and the parent-child relationship as a secure anchor.

Study Details

This randomized controlled trial evaluates an AI-based parental simulation designed to support reflective parenting, emotional regulation, and parent-child communication among parents of autistic children aged 3 to 12 years. A total of 140 parents will be recruited through an external online survey platform and randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will complete baseline questionnaires, engage with the AI-based simulation, and then complete post-intervention measures. The control group will complete baseline and post-assessment measures before receiving access to the simulation.

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention Group
    Participants in this group will complete the baseline questionnaire battery, including a study-specific 8-item evaluation questionnaire assessing four targeted domains: knowledge and understanding, parent-child communication skills, shared emotional regulation, and relational security. They will then engage with the AI-based therapeutic parental simulation and complete the same evaluation questionnaire again, followed by user experience and human-machine interaction questionnaires.
  • No Intervention: Control Group
    Participants in this group will complete the baseline questionnaire battery, including a study-specific 8-item evaluation questionnaire assessing four targeted domains: knowledge and understanding, parent-child communication skills, shared emotional regulation, and relational security. They will then complete the same evaluation questionnaire again before receiving access to the AI-based therapeutic parental simulation. After using the simulation, they will complete user experience and human-machine interaction questionnaires.
