Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of positive illusory bias (PIB) on the relationship between ADHD symptoms and functioning in college students, with a focus on gender differences.

Method: The sample consisted of 195 college students, including 148 with ADHD and 47 without ADHD. Measures of ADHD symptomatology, life satisfaction, affect, gender identity, and impairment were collected, along with cumulative grade point average.

Results: ADHD symptomatology was inversely linked to subjective well-being, with PIB acting as a significant moderator. Functional impairment was predicted by ADHD symptoms and subjective well-being, while social impairment and academic functioning were predicted by PIB and well-being. Significant gender differences were found, particularly in the interaction between PIB and ADHD symptoms for non-binary individuals.

Conclusion: This study suggests that PIB is relevant for emerging adults with ADHD enrolled in higher education. Subjective well-being and PIB act as buffers against the detrimental functional and social effects of ADHD symptoms in emerging adult college students. The study highlights the importance of considering gender-specific approaches in understanding and supporting the mental health of this population.

有多动症和没有多动症的大学生对学习成绩、障碍和心理健康的看法。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨积极幻觉偏差（PIB）对大学生多动症症状和功能之间关系的影响，重点关注性别差异：样本由 195 名大学生组成，包括 148 名多动症患者和 47 名非多动症患者。收集了多动症症状、生活满意度、情感、性别认同和障碍的测量数据，以及累积平均学分绩点：多动症症状与主观幸福感成反比，PIB 起着重要的调节作用。ADHD症状和主观幸福感可预测功能障碍，而PIB和幸福感则可预测社交障碍和学业功能障碍。研究还发现了显著的性别差异，尤其是在PIB与非二元个体的ADHD症状之间的相互作用方面：本研究表明，PIB 与正在接受高等教育的患有多动症的成年人相关。主观幸福感和PIB可以缓冲ADHD症状对新兴成人大学生的功能和社会影响。这项研究强调了在理解和支持这一人群的心理健康时考虑性别特定方法的重要性。
