This study compared the quality of friendships (same- and other-sex) in adolescents with and without ADHD, across age and gender. A community sample of 115 participants (61 ADHD, 54 Comparison), ages 13 to 18, completed a questionnaire assessing perceived levels of social support and negative interactions experienced in their friendships. Ratings of friendship social support diminished across age in youth with ADHD, but increased in typically developing youth. Adolescents with and without ADHD, however, did not differ on ratings of negative interactions experienced in their friendships. Compared with males, females rated their friendships to be more supportive, irrespective of ADHD status. Adolescents with and without ADHD rated their same-sex friendships to be simultaneously more supportive and more conflictual than their other-sex friendships. Assessments of adolescents with ADHD should include a careful examination of their social functioning with particular attention devoted to the quality of their friendships.
这项研究比较了 ADHD 青少年和非 ADHD 青少年在同性别和异性别友谊中的质量，跨越年龄和性别。一个由 115 名参与者（61 名 ADHD，54 名对照组）组成的社区样本，年龄在 13 到 18 岁之间，完成了一份问卷，评估他们在友谊中感受到的社会支持水平和负面互动。在 ADHD 青少年中，友谊的社会支持评分随年龄增长而下降，但在正常发育的青少年中则有所增加。然而，患有和不患有 ADHD 的青少年在他们友谊中经历的负面互动评分上没有差异。与男性相比，女性无论 ADHD 状况如何，都对自己的友谊评价更高。患有和不患有 ADHD 的青少年对其同性友谊的评价是同时更支持和更冲突，而对其异性友谊的评价则不如此。对 ADHD 青少年的评估应包括对其社会功能的仔细检查，特别关注其友谊的质量。
