Abstract
Objectives
Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) show emotion dysregulation and underdeveloped inhibitory control associated with impairment in social, academic, and family functioning. The present study investigated whether inhibitory control mediates the association between emotion dysregulation and symptoms of ADHD and ODD in clinic referred children with disruptive behavior.
Methods
Standardized questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect parent and teacher ratings of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral difficulties in a clinical sample of 297 children (M age = 8.24 (1.7); 79.3% male) with disruptive behavior.
Results
Inhibitory control mediated the relationship between parent- and teacher-reported emotion dysregulation and symptoms of ADHD and ODD in children with disruptive behavior.
Conclusions
Findings provide theoretical support for the role of emotional and cognitive mechanisms in ADHD and ODD. Additionally, findings suggest that emotion dysregulation and inhibitory control may be important targets for psychosocial interventions for children with ADHD and/or ODD symptoms.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
