Discursive psychology is used to study the gendering of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in UK national newspapers in the period of 2009-2011. The analysis examines how gendering is embedded in causal attributions and identity constructions. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is portrayed as a predominantly male phenomenon with representations of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder being gendered through extreme stories about victims, villains or heroes that depict boys and men as marginalised, exceptional or dangerous. There is also a focus on mothers as the spokespersons and caretakers for parenting and family health while fathers are rendered more invisible. This contributes to our understanding of how attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is constructed in the media using a range of gendered representations that draw on cultural stereotypes familiar in Western societies.
话语心理学被用于研究 2009 年至 2011 年期间英国国家报纸中注意缺陷多动障碍的性别化问题。该分析研究了性别化如何嵌入因果归因和身份构建中。注意缺陷多动障碍被描绘为主要是男性现象，通过关于受害者、恶棍或英雄的极端故事来表现出注意缺陷多动障碍的性别特征，这些故事将男孩和男人描绘为边缘化、异常或危险的。也关注母亲作为育儿和家庭健康的代言人，而父亲则更加隐形。这有助于我们理解注意缺陷多动障碍如何在媒体中通过使用一系列在西方社会中熟悉的文化刻板印象来构建。
