The goal of the study is to investigate the link between temperament, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, social preference, bullying and victimization. The study sample consisted of 195 children attending the fourth and fifth grade (age 8-10), their mothers and their teachers. A multiinformant approach was used: mothers were interviewed about the temperament of their children; teachers were asked about ADHD symptoms; children responded to a peer nominations inventory designed to investigate their roles as bullies and/or victims and their social preferences (liked and disliked peers). A Structural Equation Model multigroup analysis (males and females) was used to test the relationships among variables hypothesized by the authors. The analysis showed that temperamental variables have a direct relation to ADHD symptoms, that ADHD has a direct relation to bullying behavior in males and to victimization in females and that bullies and victims are less well accepted than peers who belong to neither category. ADHD has only an indirect relation to social preference through the mediating role of school bullying.
该研究的目的是调查气质、注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状、社会偏好、欺凌行为和受欺负情况之间的联系。研究样本包括195名四、五年级的儿童（年龄在8至10岁之间）、他们的母亲和老师。采用了多信息源方法：就孩子的气质对母亲进行访谈；向老师询问ADHD症状；孩子们对一份同伴提名问卷做出回应，该问卷旨在调查他们作为欺凌者和/或受害者的角色以及他们的社会偏好（喜欢和不喜欢的同伴）。使用结构方程模型多组分析（男性和女性）来检验作者假设的变量之间的关系。分析表明，气质变量与ADHD症状有直接关系，ADHD在男性中与欺凌行为有直接关系，在女性中与受欺负情况有直接关系，而且欺凌者和受害者比不属于这两类的同伴更不被接受。ADHD仅通过学校欺凌的中介作用与社会偏好有间接关系。
