Our sample consisted of individuals from the general population in the UK, aged 18-60, n = 694. Next to assessing ADHD traits, we collected data on ten instruments investigating strengths that in qualitative research were reported to be related to ADHD. Correlation analysis (primary) was supplemented by factor and network analyses (exploratory).
We found positive correlations between ADHD traits and hyperfocus, sensory processing sensitivity, and cognitive flexibility.
People with more ADHD traits score higher on several strengths, for other strengths we were not able to show a positive correlation in this population-bases sample. Information on strengths may aid people with elevated ADHD traits cope with their condition, and has potential to provide new angles for treatment.
方法:我们的样本由来自英国普通人群的个体组成,18-60岁,n=694。除了评估多动症特征,我们收集了10种仪器的数据,这些仪器调查了定性研究中报道的与ADHD相关的优势.相关性分析(主要)辅以因子和网络分析(探索性)。
结果:我们发现多动症特征与过度聚焦之间存在正相关,感官加工敏感性,和认知灵活性。
结论:多动症特征更多的人在几个优势上得分更高,对于其他优势,我们无法在该人群基础样本中显示出正相关.有关优势的信息可能有助于ADHD特征升高的人应对他们的病情,并有可能为治疗提供新的角度。
