Download or read book Social Functioning Social Cognition and Executive Functioning Differences Associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Subtypes written by Valerie Van Horn Kerne and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADHD is a well researched disorder in children and is associated with impairments in social functioning (Barkley, 2006). However, little is known about the etiology of social difficulties. An emerging body of literature is beginning to address the possible role social cognition may share in the social functioning outcomes in children with ADHD (Buitelaar et al., 1999; Corbett & Glidden, 2000; DaFonseca et al., 2009; Rapport et al., 2002; Sibley et al., 2010; Yuill & Lyon, 2007). Yet, research focusing on social cognition deficits in ADHD that accounts for subtype differences is limited. Some studies evaluated social cognition in CT children only (Corbett & Glidden, 2000; DaFonseca et al., 2009; Rapport et al., 2002) while other research utilized behavior ratings or sociometric studies (Matthys et al., 1999; Zentall et al., 2001). Another body of literature has examined the impact executive functioning deficits may have on social functioning (Barkley, 1997; Charman et al., 2001; Chhabildas et al., 2001). The purpose of the current study was to identify factors that predict social functioning impairments in children with ADHD as well as differentiate between ADHD subtypes. Participants included 89 youth with ages ranging from 6 to 16 years (M = 10.19, SD = 2.76). Forty-nine children met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Subtype (PI) and 40 for ADHD, Combined Type (CT). Results indicated CT youth demonstrated more aggressive and rule-breaking behavior than PI youth. Measures of social cognition did not predict ADHD subtype, and when compared to a normative sample, participants performed in the average range on affect recognition and theory of mind tasks. Performance-based measures of executive functioning largely associated with inattention (i.e., vigilance, processing speed, and working memory) best predicted subtype differences with CT youth being more impaired. Executive functioning, not social cognition, was predictive of social maladjustment in CT and PI youth. For CT youth, deficits in emotion control, shift, and initiate were related to anxiety, aggressive behavior, and depressed mood. Similarly, emotion control and shift were predictors of aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depressed mood in PI youth with deficits in self-monitoring, initiate, and inhibit as secondary predictors.

Download or read book New Developments in Diagnosing Assessing and Treating ADHD written by Gopalan, Rejani Thudalikunnil and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems as though each day more children are diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD causes challenges not only for the patient but also for their parents, siblings, teachers, and other significant people in their lives. They have an increased vulnerability to addiction and crime. Controversially, stimulants are the primary choice for treatment of ADHD in medical management, and the side effects of this long-term pharmacological management has raised many questions. Psychosocial management including parent training, behavior therapy, and educational inputs are also major components of treatment and should not be ignored. Thus, it is vital to explore the latest best practices for the diagnosis, assessment, and management of ADHD. New Developments in Diagnosing, Assessing, and Treating ADHD is a collection of research on innovations in the management of ADHD. While highlighting topics including adolescent care, neurological disorders, and mental health, this book is ideally designed for academicians, clinicians (especially psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and pediatricians), social workers, psychiatric nurses, rehabilitation centers, researchers, and students interested in the handling of this disorder and the long-term effects and social risk factors associated with treatment.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current body of research suggests that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) negatively affects multiple aspects of social functioning; however, limited research exists that differentiates between individuals with different presentations of ADHD. There is particularly limited research with adolescents, given their specific ADHD presentation, according to the criteria in most recent version of the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2013, that expanded the diagnosis to adolescence and adulthood. The present study examined three domains of social functioning: Social skills, adaptability, and leadership between adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder - Inattentive presentation (ADHD-I) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder - Combined presentation (ADHD-C). Proper treatment modalities based on the specific ADHD presentation could then be identified. Statistical analyses were performed with BASC-2 and BASC-3 parent report and teacher report scores obtained from archival data from 2006 - 2018 with adolescents between the ages of 10 and 17. Hypotheses stated that there would be a statistically significant difference between adolescents with ADHD-I and ADHD-C on the measures of social functioning of adaptability, leadership, and social skills; and that adolescents with ADHD-C would score statistically significantly lower. Small sample size was a limitation. Results were not conclusive across all three measures to support the hypotheses; however significant differences were found between parent report scores and teacher report scores for the individual measures of adaptability and leadership"--Page 7.
