Inattention is typically associated with ADHD, but less research has been done to examine the correlates of self-reported inattention in youth in a community sample.
Associations among self-reported inattention, parent-reported inattention, and self-reported psychopathology in children aged 10 to 11 years are examined. Self-reported inattention is also examined as a predictor of outcomes in peer relationships and victimization at ages 10 and 11 and in peer relationships at ages 14 and 15.
Children's self-reports of inattention correlate with parental reports and are associated with self-reports of hyperactivity-impulsivity, depression, anxiety, and conduct problems. Participants in the high-inattention group are at greater risk for victimization and poor peer relationships at ages 10 and 11 years after covarying for psychopathology ratings. Self-reported inattention uniquely predicts poor peer relationships longitudinally at age 14 and 15 years.
This study highlights the importance of examining children's self-report of inattention and identifies inattention as a risk factor for current and later outcomes.
注意力不集中通常与 ADHD 有关，但对于在社区样本中研究青少年自我报告的注意力不集中的相关性的研究较少。
研究了 10 至 11 岁儿童自我报告的注意力不集中、父母报告的注意力不集中以及自我报告的精神病理学之间的关联。还研究了自我报告的注意力不集中是否可以预测 10 岁和 11 岁时同伴关系和受害情况以及 14 岁和 15 岁时同伴关系的结果。
儿童自我报告的注意力不集中与父母报告的注意力不集中相关，并且与多动冲动、抑郁、焦虑和品行问题的自我报告相关。在对精神病理学评分进行协方差分析后，高注意力不集中组的参与者在 10 岁和 11 岁时更容易受到伤害和同伴关系不良。自我报告的注意力不集中在 14 岁和 15 岁时可以预测同伴关系的纵向不良。
本研究强调了检查儿童自我报告的注意力不集中的重要性，并确定注意力不集中是当前和以后结果的风险因素。
