Although a number of studies demonstrate that children with ADHD do not attribute their behavior to taking medication, it remains unstudied whether adolescents, who have a longer history of taking medication for ADHD, show performance attributions to medication.
A sample of 46 adolescents completed daily attributions for success or failure as a part of their participation in a summer treatment program with a double-blind, placebo-controlled assessment of methylphenidate.
Results demonstrated that adolescents with ADHD did not reliably discern active medication from placebo, rarely attributed their performance to the pill, and showed no differences in attributional style as a function of medication status.
These data indicate that adolescents with ADHD may possess inaccurate beliefs about the effect of stimulant medication on their behavior.
尽管多项研究表明患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童不会将自己的行为归因于服药，但对于有更长ADHD服药史的青少年是否会将表现归因于药物，仍未进行研究。
46名青少年参与了一项暑期治疗项目，该项目对哌甲酯进行双盲、安慰剂对照评估，作为项目的一部分，他们完成了对成功或失败的每日归因。
结果表明，患有ADHD的青少年无法可靠地区分活性药物和安慰剂，很少将自己的表现归因于药物，并且在归因方式上未表现出因药物状态而产生的差异。
这些数据表明，患有ADHD的青少年可能对刺激性药物对其行为的影响持有不准确的信念。
