The symptoms of adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) generally include impaired concentration; an insensitivity to social cues, being hard to get along with, and being internally restlessness. It is not surprising that these problems are likely to affect the performance of college students with ADHD. The study aims to examine whether ADHD symptoms are associated with handedness in college students in Taiwan. A total of 505 male and 645 female participants completed Annett's handedness questionnaire and the Traditional Chinese College ADHD Response Evaluation Student Response Inventory (C-CARE-SRI). Handedness was scored both categorically, mixed vs. not-mixed, and continuously, using the Hand Preference Index. The Inattention score was significantly higher for students who were mixed-handed than for those who were not, after social pressure against using the left hand to write had been adjusted for. However, the differences in Hyperactivity and Impulsivity scores were nonsignificant. In addition, the correlations between all three ADHD and Hand Preference Index factor-scores were nonsignificant. To sum up, mixed-handedness is associated with a higher Inattention score. The potential underlying mechanism relating to ADHD Inattention is discussed.
成人注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的症状通常包括注意力不集中；对社会暗示不敏感、难以相处和内心不安定。这些问题可能会影响 ADHD 大学生的表现，这并不奇怪。本研究旨在探讨 ADHD 症状是否与台湾大学生的利手有关。共有 505 名男性和 645 名女性参与者完成了 Annett 利手问卷和传统中文大学生 ADHD 反应评估学生反应量表（C-CARE-SRI）。使用 Hand Preference Index 对手的偏好进行了分类评分、混合与非混合以及连续评分。在调整了社会对手写使用左手的压力后，混合利手的学生的注意力得分明显高于非混合利手的学生。然而，多动和冲动得分的差异无统计学意义。此外，所有三个 ADHD 与 Hand Preference Index 因子得分之间的相关性均无统计学意义。综上所述，混合利手与较高的注意力得分有关。讨论了与 ADHD 注意力相关的潜在潜在机制。
