Delinquency in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or reading disabilityPoon, Kei-yan, 潘紀恩 January 2014 (has links)
Despite many studies report a high prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and reading disability (RD) among young delinquents, it is still not clear how the two disorders connect with delinquency. The main aim of this thesis was to understand the origin and progression of juvenile delinquency in groups of Chinese adolescents with ADHD, RD or comorbidity ADHD+RD. Three studies were conducted and reported in this thesis.In Study 1, executive functions(EF) and severity of delinquency were examined. Participants with ADHD only (n=29), RD only (n=24) and comorbidity ADHD+RD (n=35) were recruited from juvenile institutions in Hong Kong. Typically developing controls (n=29) were recruited from local schools. Assessment batteries on EF and self-reported questionnaire on delinquency were administered. Results of Study 1 showed that participants with ADHD were characterized with impairment in inhibition whereas participants with RD were characterized with impaired processing speed and visual memory. Compared to the pure groups, participants in the comorbid condition exhibited unique deficit in interference control. Importantly, the current study showed that the comorbid group had the highest severity of delinquency, and interference control; theunique deficit exhibited in the comorbid group was found to be a significant predictor of the severity of delinquency. In Study 2, psychosocial characteristics of the same juvenile sample of Study 1 were compared with typically developing control. A psychosocial questionnaire covering domains of academic orientation, parental relationships and victimization was administered. Results of Study 2 suggested that participants with RD wereassociated with negative effect across all psychosocial domains whereas participants with ADHD were mainly associated with poor academic orientation. Moreover, the comorbid group did not report having poorer psychosocial outcomes than the pure groups. The current data suggested that academic orientation was a significant factorpredicting onset of delinquency whereas direct victimization and poor father-child relationships marginally predicted severity of delinquency. In Study 3, the role of decision making at risk-taking events was investigated among the four study groups. Participants with ADHD only (n=37), RD only (n=35), comorbidity ADHD+RD (n=35), and control (n=36) were recruited from normal schools with varying levels of delinquency. A risk-taking simulated task, the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) and a teacher-reported questionnaire on delinquency were administered. Results of Study 3 showed that participants with ADHD, despite their great risk-taking propensity, were motivated by the prospect of immediate feedback. In contrast, participants with RD were found to display normal risk-taking propensity, yet were less sensitive to punishment, suggesting a failure to switch between approach and avoidance behaviours for risky situations. Importantly, the comorbid group had the highest teacher-reported delinquency score, and exhibited the greatest risk taking and least sensitivity to punishment which further supported that comorbid condition might have a stronger impact on risk taking or even delinquency than pure groups. The present study increased knowledge about the unique delinquency pathways and important correlates associated with ADHD, RD and their comorbidity. The practical implications for intervention measures and early identification of at-risk adolescents with ADHD, RD and comorbidity were discussed. / published_or_final_version / Psychology / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Adult attachment and relationship quality in parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorderYahya, Fatahyah January 2012 (has links)
This study aimed to explore the influence of adult attachment on relationship quality in parents of children with ADHD. A mixed methods design was used to address the research objectives. Study One (quantitative) explored the different pressures that having a child with ADHD places on parents with different attachment styles, and how the parents differ in their way of responding to such pressures based on their attachment styles. Two hundred and fifty four participants were employed: 101 parents of children with ADHD, and 153 parents of children without ADHD. Four established questionnaires were used: Connors Parental rating Scale (CPRS), Communication Pattern Questionnaire (CPQ), Experience in Close Relationship (ECR), and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). The results showed that parents of children with ADHD reported greater marital conflict and worse dyadic adjustment than parents of children without ADHD. Moreover, behavioural problems in children with ADHD correlated negatively with interpersonal relationship in the parental couple. Finally, attachment style moderated the impact of ADHD symptoms on interpersonal problems in the couple. On the other hand, Study Two (qualitative) explored parents’ experiences of how the disorganised behaviour of children with ADHD or the normal naughtiness of children without ADHD had an impact on the relationship. The differences between parents with children with and without ADHD with regard to their attachment styles were also studied. Forty eight participants extracted from the Study One were participated in this Study Two. The results through the thematic analyses indicated that parents of children with ADHD experienced the stress related to their children’s condition which was negatively affected their couple relationship. Not only that, the parents with different attachment styles experienced differently in both group. In considering both studies, the qualitative themes may explain how attachment insecurity moderates the impact of having a child with ADHD on relationship variables. The theme may be particularly important, as it may have a negative influence on the interpersonal communication of the parents with insecurity attachment. It is proposed that this research can make a contribution towards relevant intervention programs to facilitate support for parents of children with ADHD.
