This study compared the psychological profiles of college students who self-reported an ADHD diagnosis in contrast to students without a diagnosis who reported above-threshold ADHD symptoms. A large sample of college students yielded four subgroups: students with a self-reported diagnosis who met symptom criteria (Diagnosed, = 40), students with a self-reported diagnosis who did not meet symptom criteria (Low Symptoms, = 47), students who had no diagnosis and did not meet symptom criteria (Controls, = 87), and students who had no diagnosis yet met symptom criteria (Undiagnosed, = 38). All participants completed a battery of self-report rating scales assessing a variety of symptom and impairment domains. The Diagnosed and Undiagnosed groups differed significantly from Controls on all domains, while the Low Symptom group did not differ significantly from Controls in any domain. Implications for engaging with reported diagnosis of ADHD in the college population are discussed.
本研究比较了自我报告患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的大学生与未被诊断但报告有高于阈值ADHD症状的学生的心理特征。大量大学生样本产生了四个亚组：自我报告诊断且符合症状标准的学生（已诊断组，n = 40）、自我报告诊断但不符合症状标准的学生（低症状组，n = 47）、未被诊断且不符合症状标准的学生（对照组，n = 87）以及未被诊断但符合症状标准的学生（未诊断组，n = 38）。所有参与者完成了一系列自我报告评定量表，评估各种症状和损害领域。已诊断组和未诊断组在所有领域与对照组有显著差异，而低症状组在任何领域与对照组均无显著差异。本文讨论了在大学生群体中对报告的ADHD诊断进行处理的意义。
