Guided by a Positive Youth Development framework, this study examined associations between overall and domain-specific extracurricular participation and psychosocial outcomes in a racially diverse sample of 3,578 adolescents (ages 15–18; M = 15.62), including 588 with ADHD, from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Descriptive analyses indicated largely comparable participation frequencies across adolescents with and without ADHD, with modest domain-specific differences. Path models adjusting for demographic covariates indicated that more frequent extracurricular participation was associated with higher wellbeing and greater socially adaptive behavior, unrelated to anxiety symptoms, and was marginally associated with lower depressive symptoms. Domain-specific analyses showed that sports participation was associated with higher wellbeing, socially adaptive behavior, higher anxiety symptoms, and lower depressive symptoms. Volunteering was associated with greater socially adaptive behavior only. Performance participation was associated with lower socially adaptive behavior, and school-based activities with lower wellbeing. Scouting or hobby participation showed mixed associations, including lower wellbeing, socially adaptive behavior, and anxiety, but higher depressive symptoms. Religious participation was unrelated to outcomes. ADHD status rarely moderated associations: however, greater school-based participation was related to lower anxiety among adolescents with ADHD only.

The current study examined undesirable behaviors during board games and explored underlying factors (e.g., inhibitory control, sensitivity to reinforcement) that may contribute to undesirable behaviors during play. Twenty-eight children with ADHD participated in the current cross-over design study. At baseline, children completed a task of inhibitory control and their parents rated their child's sensitivity to reinforcement. During the STP, children played competitive or cooperative board games, when taking either stimulant medication or placebo, in small groups of 3-4 children across 20 days. Undesirable behaviors were recorded during game play. Overall, medication use reduced rule violations, poor sportsmanship, and other behaviors. Only cooperative board games decreased teasing behavior. There was a reward x game interaction, such that those with higher reward sensitivity exhibited more poor sportsmanship during competitive games. Collectively, these findings suggest that stimulant medication attenuates undesirable peer interactions during board game play, cooperative board games may decrease teasing relative to competitive games, and the board game setting may be a potential avenue to better understand and address peer interactions in children with ADHD.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13053425/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147623907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overlap between poor inhibitory control, which was unrelated to maltreatment exposure in this sample, and DSED and RAD behaviours highlights the risk of diagnostic confusion when assessing for these disorders in children with suspected FASD. However, the findings also emphasise that even in the presence of poor inhibitory control owing to alcohol exposure, co-occurring exposure to prolonged neglect (past 24 months) may still contribute to the presentation of DSED behaviour.

This study sought to contribute to this body of work by examining relations between child- and parent-reported irritability and EEG biomarkers of emotion-related processing in 8- to 12-year-old children diagnosed with ADHD. We examined frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA), a neurophysiological index of the action tendency component of emotions, in response to emotionally evocative images, from 50 children. As expected, greater relative left FAA (reflecting greater approach tendency) in response to emotionally evocative (fearful and happy) stimuli was associated with higher irritability symptom levels. Early FAA (0-200 ms post-stimuli) was more strongly related to irritability than later FAA (250–600 ms post-stimuli), which supports the concept of emotional impulsivity. Furthermore, FAA findings seemed to be driven by lower alpha power over the left hemisphere, suggesting greater approach (vs. withdrawal) among those with high irritability. Overall, findings were consistent with previous research showing the impact of emotions in ADHD, and specifically of dimensions of irritability/anger-proneness and high positive affect.
