This study examined independent contributions of executive functioning (EF), state regulation (SR), and social risk factors to symptom dimensions of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in two cohorts, which included 221 Norwegian children and 294 Finnish adolescents. Independent contributions of EF and SR were shown in the Norwegian cohort and EF contributed independently in the Finnish cohort. When controlling for each symptom dimension, cognitive functioning and social risk factors were differentially associated with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms. The results show the need to include both social risk factors and cognitive functioning to obtain a better understanding of ADHD symptoms.
本研究在两个队列中考察了执行功能（EF）、状态调节（SR）和社会风险因素对注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状维度的独立影响，这两个队列包括221名挪威儿童和294名芬兰青少年。在挪威队列中显示了EF和SR的独立影响，而在芬兰队列中EF有独立作用。在控制每个症状维度时，认知功能和社会风险因素与注意力不集中及多动/冲动症状存在不同关联。结果表明，需要同时纳入社会风险因素和认知功能，以便更好地理解ADHD症状。
