Abstract

Adolescents with ADHD demonstrate increased risk-taking behavior (RTB) like substance abuse and dangerous traffic conduct. RTB in adolescence is more likely under peer influence. The current investigation (1) tests the hypothesis that adolescents with ADHD are particularly susceptible to such influence and (2) tests whether groups differed in autonomic reactivity to peer influence. Adolescent boys between 12 and 19 years with (n = 81) and without (n = 99) ADHD performed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task twice. In the peer condition, a highly credible virtual peer manipulation that encouraged risk taking was added, in the solo condition this was absent. Autonomic reactivity was indexed by heart rate (HR), pre-ejection period (PEP) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). All adolescents engaged in more risk taking in the peer condition relative to solo condition. Autonomic differences between groups were only found on PEP: a stronger sympathetic response to peer influence was observed in typically developing adolescents relative to adolescents with ADHD. Increased physiological stress (as indexed by PEP) in the peer relative to the solo condition predicted peer-induced risk taking in all adolescents. We conclude that susceptibility to peer influence is not exaggerated in ADHD but rather reflects a general tendency of adolescents. As adolescents experiencing peer influence as stressful are most susceptible to peer influence, we suggest that increasing resistance to peer influence may be an important treatment aim for these adolescents specifically.

青少年注意缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)的风险承担:同伴影响的行为和心理生理调查。
患有多动症的青少年表现出更多的冒险行为(RTB),如药物滥用和危险的交通行为。青少年的RTB更可能受到同伴的影响。目前的研究(1)验证了患有多动症的青少年特别容易受到这种影响的假设,(2)验证了各组对同伴影响的自主反应是否存在差异。患有(n = 81)和不患有(n = 99)注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的12至19岁的青春期男孩进行了两次气球模拟风险任务。在同伴条件下,增加了一个鼓励冒险的高度可信的虚拟同伴操纵,在单独条件下没有。自主神经反应性以心率(HR)、射血前期(PEP)和呼吸性窦性心律失常(RSA)为指标。所有的青少年在同伴环境中都比在单独环境中承担更多的风险。组间自主神经的差异只在PEP上发现:相对于患有ADHD的青少年,正常发育的青少年对同伴影响的交感神经反应更强。相对于独处的情况,同伴中生理压力(PEP指数)的增加预测了所有青少年同伴诱导的冒险行为。我们的结论是,对同伴影响的敏感性在ADHD中并没有被夸大,而是反映了青少年的一般倾向。由于经历同伴影响的青少年最容易受到同伴影响,我们建议增加对同伴影响的抵抗力可能是针对这些青少年的重要治疗目标。

期刊介绍: Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together the latest innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. The journal publishes studies that have a strong theoretical framework and use a diversity of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major forms of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, and developmental course of these forms of psychopathology. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors; the ecology and correlates of children''s emotional, social, and behavior problems; and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.
