The aim of the study was to expand the current knowledge base on problematic video gaming and ADHD with four questions: (1) Are there differences in the length of video gaming between boys with ADHD and typically developing boys? (2) Are there differences in problematic video gaming between boys with ADHD and typically developing boys? (3) What are the predictors of problematic video gaming? (4) Does problematic video gaming affect academic performance while controlling for the effect of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms? Symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity scale (SNAP IV), the Problematic Video Game Scale, and the Video Game Patterns Questionnaire were administered to 127 parents of elementary school boys in Croatia, 57 of whom were parents of boys with a clinical ADHD diagnosis and 70 of whom were parents of typically developing boys. The results show that there are no differences in length of play and problematic video gaming between ADHD and typically developing boys. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that age, inattention symptoms, and length of play are predictors of problematic video gaming. Inattention symptoms and age are significant predictors of academic achievement whereas it seems that hyperactivity and impulsivity symptoms are not predictors of problematic video gaming and academic achievement in boys.
这项研究的目的是通过四个问题扩展关于问题性视频游戏和 ADHD 的现有知识库：(1) ADHD 男孩和正常发育男孩之间的视频游戏时长是否存在差异？(2) ADHD 男孩和正常发育男孩之间的问题性视频游戏是否存在差异？(3) 哪些因素可以预测问题性视频游戏？(4) 在控制注意力不集中和多动/冲动症状影响的情况下，问题性视频游戏是否会影响学习成绩？在克罗地亚，对 127 名小学男生的家长进行了调查，其中 57 名是 ADHD 临床诊断男孩的家长，70 名是正常发育男孩的家长。他们的注意力不集中、多动/冲动症状量表 (SNAP IV)、问题性视频游戏量表和视频游戏模式问卷。结果表明，ADHD 男孩和正常发育男孩在游戏时长和问题性视频游戏方面没有差异。分层回归分析显示，年龄、注意力不集中症状和游戏时长是问题性视频游戏的预测因素。注意力不集中症状和年龄是学习成绩的显著预测因素，而似乎多动和冲动症状不是男孩问题性视频游戏和学习成绩的预测因素。
