The present study examined the impact of frustration on risk-taking in college students with low and high ADHD symptomatology (L-ADHD and H-ADHD). Participants completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) following induced frustration from a mood manipulation task (experimental session) and following no mood manipulation (control session). A manipulation check revealed a significant three-way interaction where the H-ADHD group reported higher frustration levels compared to the L-ADHD group, particularly in response to the frustration induction in the experimental condition. Primary results revealed that the L-ADHD group exploded significantly fewer balloons in the experimental condition compared to the control condition; there was a nonsignificant difference of balloon explosions across conditions for the H-ADHD group. The study provides initial laboratory-based support for the impact of frustration on the risk behavior of those with low and high levels of ADHD, with potential implications for future studies and ultimately for intervention.
本研究考察了挫折对低水平和高水平注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状的大学生（低ADHD组和高ADHD组）冒险行为的影响。参与者在经过情绪操纵任务诱导的挫折后（实验环节）以及未进行情绪操纵时（对照环节）完成了气球模拟风险任务（BART）。一项操纵检验揭示了显著的三因素交互作用，即高ADHD组报告的挫折水平高于低ADHD组，尤其是在实验条件下对挫折诱导的反应中。主要结果显示，与对照条件相比，低ADHD组在实验条件下爆炸的气球明显更少；高ADHD组在不同条件下气球爆炸数量的差异不显著。该研究为挫折对不同ADHD水平者冒险行为的影响提供了初步的基于实验室的支持，对未来研究以及最终的干预具有潜在意义。
