Anger is an ignored research area in children and young adolescents with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the school setting. This study compares school anger dimensions in children and young adolescents with ADHD and a control group.
The subjects were a clinical sample of 67 children and young adolescents with ADHD and their parents, with a sample of 91 children from the community of similar age and gender as control group. Anger was measured by the Farsi version of the Multidimensional School Anger Inventory (MSAI).
The scores of the two components of "Hostile Outlook" and "Positive Coping" were different between the groups. The mean scores for the Anger components did not statistically differ between the children with ADHD and ODD and ADHD without ODD, boys and girls, or different types of ADHD.
Children with ADHD do not report higher rates of experience of anger and they do not apply destructive strategies more than the control group. However, children with ADHD appear to have a more hostile outlook toward school and their coping strategy is weaker than that of the control group.
在学校环境中,愤怒是一个被忽视的研究领域,针对患有注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童和青少年。本研究比较了 ADHD 儿童和青少年与对照组儿童在学校愤怒维度上的差异。
研究对象为 67 名患有 ADHD 的儿童和青少年及其父母的临床样本,以及 91 名年龄和性别与对照组相似的社区儿童作为对照组。愤怒通过《多维学校愤怒量表》(MSAI)的波斯语版本进行测量。
两组在“敌对观点”和“积极应对”这两个维度的得分存在差异。ADHD 患儿和伴对立违抗性障碍(ODD)的 ADHD 患儿、男孩和女孩、以及不同类型的 ADHD 患儿之间的愤怒成分平均得分在统计学上无差异。
患有 ADHD 的儿童报告的愤怒体验率并不高于对照组,他们也不会比对照组更多地采用破坏性策略。然而,与对照组相比,ADHD 患儿对学校的敌对态度更为明显,他们的应对策略也较弱。
