Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze the relationship between interpersonal competence, social support, ADHD traits, and depression in early adulthood, and by using the double-mediation model, to examine the effect of the first two variables on the last two.Methods: The participants comprised 146 male and 155 female adults aged between 19 and 34, from whom data was collected through the Korean version of the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, interpersonal competence and depression subscales of the mental health test developed by Suh et al., and social support scale developed by Iverson et al.Results: The results showed that adult ADHD traits were negatively correlated with interpersonal competence and social support, and positively correlated with depression. In addition, interpersonal competence was positively correlated with social support and negatively correlated with depression, whereas social support was negatively correlated with depression. Finally, interpersonal competence and social support sequentially mediated adult ADHD traits and depression.Conclusions: This sequential double-mediating effect is of great academic significance and suggests that improving interpersonal competence and social support may be effective in mitigating the negative effect of ADHD traits on depression in early adulthood.

人际能力和社会支持在成年早期ADHD特征与抑郁关系中的双重中介作用

背景：本研究旨在分析成年早期的人际能力、社会支持、多动症特征和抑郁之间的关系，并通过双中介模型检验前两个变量对后两个变量的影响。方法：参与者包括146名男性和155名女性，年龄在19至34岁之间，通过韩国版世界卫生组织成人多动症自我报告量表、Suh等人开发的心理健康测试的人际能力和抑郁分量表收集数据。，结果：成人ADHD特征与人际能力和社会支持呈负相关，与抑郁呈正相关。此外，人际交往能力与社会支持呈正相关，与抑郁呈负相关，而社会支持与抑郁呈阴性相关。最后，人际能力和社会支持依次介导成人多动症特征和抑郁。结论：这种连续的双重中介效应具有重要的学术意义，并表明提高人际能力和社会支持可能有效地减轻ADHD特征对成年早期抑郁症的负面影响。

期刊介绍： The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress. Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration. Specific approaches may include transgenic/knockout animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
