This study was to identify personality correlates of children with a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The Jungian Personality Type dimensions primarily considered were Sensing/Intuiting and Perceiving/Judging. A Sensing child is likely to be very present-centered. A Perceiving child tends to be curious and resist order and structure.
Children attending a general pediatric clinic with a diagnosis of ADHD were eligible to participate. Enrolled children were administered the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children. Binomial tests were performed comparing Perceiving and Sensing personality components to accepted population rates.
Participants (n = 117) were predominantly male (78%) with a median age of 10 years. The Sensing trait (72%) was more prevalent than expected, though prevalence for the Perceiving trait (44%) did not differ from population rates.
Personality types occasioned with the diagnosis of ADHD could be useful in establishing/normalizing treatment regimens and approaches to assist these children and their families better.
本研究旨在确定被诊断患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童的人格相关因素。主要考虑的荣格人格类型维度是感觉/直觉和感知/判断。一个感觉型的孩子可能非常以当下为中心。一个感知型的孩子往往充满好奇心,抗拒秩序和结构。
在普通儿科诊所就诊且被诊断为ADHD的儿童有资格参与。对入选儿童进行了墨菲 - 迈斯盖尔儿童类型指标测试。进行二项式检验,将感知型和感觉型人格成分与公认的总体发生率进行比较。
参与者(n = 117)以男性为主(78%),中位年龄为10岁。感觉特质(72%)比预期更普遍,不过感知特质(44%)的发生率与总体发生率没有差异。
ADHD诊断所涉及的人格类型可能有助于制定/规范治疗方案和方法,以更好地帮助这些儿童及其家庭。
