To investigate the relative importance of ADHD symptoms, mood instability, and antisocial personality disorder traits in predicting self-reported offending.
A total of 295 Icelandic students completed two scales of offending behavior and measures of ADHD symptoms, mood instability, and antisocial personality traits.
Self-reported offending from the two independent scales correlated significantly with ADHD symptoms, mood instability, and antisocial personality traits with medium to large effect size. Multiple regressions showed that ADHD symptoms contributed to the two outcome measures beyond that of age and gender with a medium effect size. The ADHD effects were only partly mediated by mood instability and antisocial personality traits for general offending but were almost completely mediated by the more reactive measure of antisocial behavior.
ADHD appears to be a potential risk factor for general offending in its own right irrespective of the presence of comorbidity, whereas mood instability is more important with regard to reactive behavior.
探讨 ADHD 症状、情绪不稳定和反社会人格障碍特征在预测自我报告犯罪行为中的相对重要性。
共有 295 名冰岛学生完成了两种犯罪行为量表以及 ADHD 症状、情绪不稳定和反社会人格障碍特征的测量。
两种独立量表的自我报告犯罪行为与 ADHD 症状、情绪不稳定和反社会人格障碍特征显著相关，效应量从中等到较大。多元回归显示，ADHD 症状对两个结果变量的贡献超出了年龄和性别，具有中等效应大小。ADHD 效应仅部分通过情绪不稳定和反社会人格障碍特征对一般犯罪行为进行中介，但几乎完全通过反社会行为的更反应性测量进行中介。
ADHD 似乎是一般犯罪行为的一个潜在风险因素，无论是否存在合并症，而情绪不稳定在反应性行为方面更为重要。
