The purpose of this study was to assess the association between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and rejection sensitivity in college students, and whether it is mediated or moderated by elements of mental well-being. Using a cross-sectional design, the study examined 304 Hungarian college students who responded online to a set of questionnaires that included the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, The Mental Health Test, and the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire. Path analysis indicated that well-being, creative/executive proficiency, self-regulation, and resilience partially mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and rejection sensitivity, while savoring moderated this link. The model explained up to 50% of the total variance in rejection sensitivity scores. Findings suggest that university students with ADHD symptoms may particularly benefit from acquiring savoring skills to enhance their mental well-being and lower rejection to sensitivity. As such, the results carry significant implications for counseling psychologists, educators, and mental health professionals working in the higher education sector.

It is currently accepted that ADHD leads to important difficulties in the educational functioning of children and adolescents. However, its actual relevance on the performance of university students is not yet recognized in the academic milieu and University Management Foundations. Objectives: The present study performed a systematic review of the scientific literature that deals with the academic performance of university students with ADHD, collecting the research conducted between 2018 and 2024. Likewise, we aimed to know the factors that influence on academic performance and evaluate the tools used in the collection of ADHD symptoms and educational data. Methods: The electronic databases PubMed, PsycInfo, and Scopus were used to search studies using PRISMA guidelines. Quantitative studies selected had to discuss about academic performance in college students with ADHD. For each study, quality of evidence was examined using the Quality Assessment Tool of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. Results: Fifteen studies with good-fair quality were included in the review. These studies demonstrated that an ADHD diagnosis or significant ADHD symptoms are associated with lower academic performance in college students, particularly those with inattention symptoms. Additionally, factors such as executive functions, medication use, and study strategies also influence the academic performance of these students. The most commonly used instruments for the assessment of ADHD were the screening measures ADHD Self-Report Scale and the ADHD Rating Scale—Self Report Version. To assess academic performance half of the studies collected the Grade Point Average directly from university records, while in other studies, students were asked directly for their grades. Conclusion: Overall, ADHD has a relevant impact on the academic performance of university students, but the evaluation methodology used has some differences with respect to child’s evaluations procedures. Therefore, studies in this population must include not only self-reported symptomatology, but also assessments from clinicians specialized in adult ADHD.

The rise of online learning poses challenges in identifying and supporting students with cognitive disorders, notably ADHD. This neurodevelopmental disorder, diagnosed in childhood, impacts academic performance. With the prevalence of online education, early detection and intervention for ADHD are crucial. Predictive techniques using digital traces, behavioral patterns, and physiological data during online sessions are studied. Machine and deep learning models, including supervised and unsupervised approaches, identify ADHD-related behaviors. Natural language processing analyzes textual interactions for signs of inattention or hyperactivity. Eye-tracking and physiological sensors reveal attention levels during online activities. Though offline classrooms allow direct interaction, these techniques enable timely interventions, enhancing ADHD students' experiences in the digital learning era. Further research to refine and address challenges will contribute to a more inclusive and effective online learning environment.
