We conducted a systematic review and summarized the outcomes of single-case research design studies conducted in the last decade that have implemented peer-mediated interventions (PMI) to address the social competence needs of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) younger than 8 years of age. Eighteen studies with 53 children with ASD were included. Data from those studies were extracted independently by two coders and coded for characteristics of children with ASD, characteristics of peers, characteristics of the intervention, risk of bias, and success estimate. Findings suggest that PMI are effective for increasing interactions between children with ASD and peers but may not be as effective for increasing initiations made by children with ASD or increasing responses made by children with ASD to peers’ initiations. Researchers should prioritize conducting studies that seek to promote positive interactions initiated by children with ASD, possibly by modifying PMI to include preferred stimuli identified through systematic assessments.

解决 ASD 幼儿社会能力需求的同伴中介干预：单案例研究设计研究的系统回顾

我们进行了系统回顾并总结了过去十年中进行的单案例研究设计研究的结果，这些研究实施了同伴中介干预 (PMI) 来满足 8 岁以下自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 儿童的社交能力需求年龄。纳入了 18 项研究，涉及 53 名 ASD 儿童。这些研究的数据由两名编码员独立提取，并根据 ASD 儿童的特征、同龄人的特征、干预的特征、偏倚风险和成功估计进行编码。研究结果表明，PMI 对于增加 ASD 儿童与同龄人之间的互动是有效的，但对于增加 ASD 儿童的主动性或增加 ASD 儿童对同龄人主动性的反应可能没有那么有效。
