Description:
Objective

This study’s primary aim was to examine whether the positive self-perceptual bias present in many youth with ADHD (Hoza et al., 2004; Hoza, Pelham, Dobbs, Owens, & Pillow, 2002) mediates the relation of childhood ADHD status to later risky behaviors.

Method

Using a subset of children with ADHD and comparison children (n = 645) from the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD, we predicted that a positive bias in childhood would partially or fully mediate the relation between having ADHD and risky driving and sexual behaviors eight years later.

Results

Results strongly supported this hypothesis for risky driving behavior, but only provided limited support for risky sexual behavior.

Conclusions

Taken together, findings suggest that future research should explore whether self-perceptual bias may be a useful target of intervention for children with ADHD.
