Recent studies have produced mixed evidence of impairments in facial affect interpretation for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study investigated the presence and nature of such impairments across different stimulus formats. Twenty-four boys with ADHD and 24 age-matched comparison boys completed a 72-trial task that included facial expressions of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust. Three versions of each expression were used: a static version, a dynamic version, and a dynamic version presented within a relevant situational context. Expressions were also presented in one of two portrayal modes (cartoon versus real-life). Results indicated significant impairments for boys with ADHD on two of the six emotions (fear and disgust), which were consistent across stimulus formats. Directions for further research to identify mediating factors in the expression of such impairments in children with ADHD are discussed.
近期研究对于注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童在面部表情解读方面的损伤得出了不一致的证据。本研究调查了不同刺激形式下此类损伤的存在情况及性质。24名患ADHD的男孩和24名年龄匹配的对照男孩完成了一项包含72次试验的任务，其中包括快乐、悲伤、恐惧、愤怒、惊讶和厌恶的面部表情。每种表情使用了三个版本：静态版本、动态版本以及在相关情境中呈现的动态版本。表情还以两种描绘模式（卡通与现实生活）之一呈现。结果表明，患ADHD的男孩在六种情绪中的两种（恐惧和厌恶）上存在显著损伤，且在不同刺激形式下保持一致。本文还讨论了进一步研究的方向，以确定ADHD儿童此类损伤表现中的中介因素。
