The purpose of this study was to compare self-perceptions of children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with those of children not diagnosed with ADHD. Seventy-seven children aged 8-12 years composed the two groups-38 participants with ADHD and 39 control participants without ADHD. The children completed the Self-Perception Profile for Children Questionnaire designed to measure self-perceptions in school-aged children. t Tests compared differences in mean scores between the groups. The ADHD group had a significantly lower overall score and a lower score on the behavioral conduct subscale compared with children without ADHD. Findings suggest a difference in the way school-aged children with ADHD perceive themselves as compared with their peers. The cumulative effect of years of low self-esteem and negative self-perception may have significant life consequences. Attention should be focused on fostering self-esteem and positive self-perception in children with ADHD through support groups and behavioral training.
本研究的目的是比较被诊断为注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童与未被诊断为ADHD的儿童的自我认知。两组由77名8至12岁的儿童组成——38名患有ADHD的参与者和39名没有ADHD的对照参与者。这些儿童完成了旨在测量学龄儿童自我认知的儿童自我认知量表问卷。t检验比较了两组之间平均得分的差异。与没有ADHD的儿童相比，ADHD组的总体得分显著更低，在行为品行子量表上的得分也更低。研究结果表明，患有ADHD的学龄儿童与同龄人相比，他们对自己的认知方式存在差异。多年来自卑和负面自我认知的累积效应可能会对生活产生重大影响。应通过支持小组和行为训练，将注意力集中在培养患有ADHD的儿童的自尊和积极的自我认知上。
