Teacher ratings of attention problems in children experimentally classified as exhibiting attention deficit disorder with and without hyperactivity.

摘要: From a total of 625 children, 30 children in grades 2–5 were experimentally classified as having Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADD/H: N = 10) or without (ADD/WO: 20) using teacher ratings behavior on the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC). These groups compared to normal control ( each items that comprise Problem-Immaturity (API) factor RBPC. Both ADD rated by teachers exhibiting significantly greater attention problems than controls 12 16 factor. However, ADD/H more irresponsible, sloppy, distractible, impulsive, less sluggish, likely answer thinking, and faster finishing assignments ADD/WO children. In addition, only group differed from impulsivity anwering sluggishness drowsiness. A stepwise discriminant analysis showed two could be accurately discriminated (average canonical r 2 0.83) combination impulsivity, sluggishness, immaturity, sloppiness, slowness, need for supervision. results suggest may exhibit dissimilar types deficits.
