“…Children with ADHD showed a significant increase in externalizing behavior due to increased delinquent and aggressive behavior and an increase in thought problems. Retz et al ( 2020 ) pointed out that children with ADHD are prone to comorbid oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, which are associated with aggressive and delinquent behaviors. In addition, it was reported that there was an association between anxiety disorders and externalizing disorders in children with ADHD, and that young children with ADHD were unable to express their anxiety directly, so they engaged in externalizing behaviors that were contradictory to anxiety behaviors (Marmorstein, 2007 ).…”

In March 2020, many schools were closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Japan, and it is predicted that many children, especially those with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), will be affected emotionally and behaviorally. Here, we examined the impact of school closures due to COVID-19 on school-aged children with NDDs using the Child Behavior Checklist. Totally, data on 121 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and/or intellectual disorder were analyzed and it was found that externalizing and aggressive behavior increased in all NDDs, regardless of the type of diagnosis. A clear prospect is important for children with NDDs children to lead a stable life, and more generous supports for children with NDDs and their families are needed.

“…Also, as the preventive measures were mandatory in Israel at the time of the study, nonadherence may also be considered as anti-social behavior. Importantly, both risk-taking and anti-social behavior are closely related to ADHD (Pollak, Dekkers, Shoham, & Huizenga, 2019;Retz et al, 2020). Accordingly, the link between ADHD and non-adherence was partially explained by high levels of risk-taking and anti-social behavior.…”

Objective. The COVID-19 outbreak created numerous multidimensional stressors, to which people show different levels of vulnerability. The current paper examines whether ADHD symptoms are associated with poorer adaptation. Method. 2055 adults participated in an online survey after the first quarantine in Israel. Participants completed scales probing adaptation indicators: financial status, adherence to preventive measures, mental health, and COVID-19 related perceptions. Background measures, including the level of ADHD symptoms, were collected.Results. Adaptation indicators negatively correlated with the level of ADHD symptoms. Financial decline explained a small portion of the link between ADHD and decreased mental health; background risk-taking, anti-social, and pro-social behavior partially explained the link between ADHD and non-adherence to preventive measures; COVID-19 related perceptions also partially explained the same link.Conclusion. The current study suggests that people with ADHD are more vulnerable to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore deserve special attention and care.

“…Previous studies have shown that self-reported impulsivity is mainly associated with TriPM Meanness and Disinhibition domains (9,30,35). However, other disorders characterized by reduced impulse control, such as attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are also linked to delinquent behavior and criminality (36). In a previous report from the current sample we found that primarily TriPM Disinhibition, but also Meanness, were independently associated to self-reported ADHD symptoms (37).…”

“…A previous study by Retz et al (58) found that ADHD and psychopathy assessed with PCL:SV among offenders were clearly separable constructs, though they intersect in regards to the items that measure impulsive behavior in their respective diagnostic instruments. While subjects with ADHD may be more prone to exhibit antisocial behavior, they are however not susceptible to development of the interpersonal or affective traits of psychopathy (36). The high prevalence of self-reported ADHD in the current population, constituting of approximately a third of participants, may partially explain the positive associations between TriPM Disinhibition, neuroticism and empathy, as a constructional overlap between psychopathy and ADHD consequently might "muddle" the results of the disinhibition domain.…”

Investigating the Validity Evidence of the Swedish TriPM in High Security Prisoners Using the PCL-R and NEO-FFI

The triarchic model of psychopathy was developed to bridge opposing descriptions of psychopathy by separating the core construct in three domains; boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. The Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM) operationalizes the model through a 58-item self-report questionnaire. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Swedish translation by investigating intercorrelations and associations to expert-rated psychopathy, general personality and psychopathy-related traits in male high-security prisoners (n = 191). Psychopathy rated with TriPM and the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R) demonstrated expected convergence, as did empathy and impulsivity measures. The Disinhibition and Meanness scales were highly correlated, indicating that the scales might not be adequately differentiated. Nevertheless, the divergent association patterns to other important variables, particularly neuroticism and empathy, also points to meaningful differences. However, the lack of association between Disinhibition and Boldness may put into question if these domains are related at all, especially since there was a lack of similarity in the association patterns with other clinical variables. The influence of antisocial behavior in the TriPM operationalization might amplify the similarities of the Meanness and Disinhibition scales, while diluting the associations between Meanness and Boldness. In conclusion, the Swedish TriPM is effective in measuring the domains of triarchic model in forensic settings, even though a revision of the scales might improve the psychometric properties of the instrument.
