Abstract

Objective: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that may be associated with impaired Theory of Mind (ToM) and social cognition. ToM is a domain in social cognition, referring to one's ability to attribute beliefs, intents, perspectives, and understandings to oneself or others and to understand others' mental states.

Materials & methods: The present study enrolled 52 ADHD of adolescents and 41 healthy age-matched controls in this study. This study applied The Reading the Mind in The Eyes Task (RMET) and Theory of Mind Assessment Scale (Th.o.m.a.s.) for all participants. The results of these tasks were compared between the two study groups.

Results: No significant differences were found between these two study groups regarding ToM abilities using mean scores in the Th.o.m.a.s. inventory and the RMET. Furthermore, no association was found between the mean score in the ToM (in both study groups) and this study's parameters of gender, mean age, birth rank, family structure, and income.

Conclusion: This study did not support the hypothesis that adolescents with ADHD perform worse on ToM tasks.

青少年注意缺陷多动障碍的心理理论:横断面研究。

目的:注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)是一种常见的神经发育障碍，可能与心理理论(ToM)和社会认知功能受损有关。ToM是社会认知的一个领域，指的是一个人将信念、意图、观点和理解归为自己或他人的能力，以及理解他人心理状态的能力。材料与方法:本研究招募了52名ADHD青少年和41名年龄匹配的健康对照。本研究采用“眼读心术”(RMET)和“心理理论评估量表”(t.o.m.a.s)对所有参与者进行测试。这些任务的结果在两个研究组之间进行了比较。结果:两个研究小组在使用thoma的平均得分方面没有发现显著差异。库存和RMET。此外，在两个研究组中，ToM的平均得分与本研究的性别、平均年龄、出生等级、家庭结构和收入参数之间没有关联。结论:本研究不支持ADHD青少年在ToM任务上表现较差的假设。
