This study compared the romantic relationships of adolescents with and without ADHD with regard to romantic involvement, relationship content, and relationship quality.
A community sample of 58 participants (30 ADHD, 28 Comparison), ages 13 to 18, completed questionnaires assessing various features of romantic relationships.
Adolescents with ADHD reported having more romantic partners than their typically developing (TD) peers. Females with ADHD were found to have shorter romantic relationships than TD adolescents while males with ADHD reported their age of first intercourse to be nearly 2 years sooner than TD peers. Irrespective of gender, adolescents with ADHD had nearly double the number of lifetime sexual partners. However, the romantic relationships of adolescents with and without ADHD did not differ on levels of aggression or relationship quality.
Given the outcomes associated with poor-quality romantic relationships, comprehensive assessments of adolescents with ADHD should include queries into their romantic relationships.
本研究比较了 ADHD 青少年和非 ADHD 青少年的浪漫关系，比较内容涉及浪漫关系的投入、关系内容和关系质量。
采用社区样本，共纳入 58 名参与者（30 名 ADHD 青少年，28 名对照青少年），年龄在 13 至 18 岁之间，完成了评估各种浪漫关系特征的问卷。
ADHD 青少年报告的浪漫伴侣数量多于其正常发育（TD）同龄人。ADHD 女性的浪漫关系持续时间比 TD 青少年短，而 ADHD 男性报告的首次性交年龄比 TD 同龄人早近 2 年。无论性别如何，ADHD 青少年的终生性伴侣数量几乎是 TD 青少年的两倍。然而，ADHD 青少年和非 ADHD 青少年的浪漫关系在攻击性水平或关系质量上并无差异。
鉴于不良浪漫关系相关的后果，对 ADHD 青少年的全面评估应包括对其浪漫关系的询问。
