“…Evidence also indicates that persons with ADHD suffer from learning disabilities [91] and dyslexia [92], social [93] and emotional impairments [94], extreme aggression, and externalizing symptoms [95]. There is also a high level of stigmatization associated with ADHD [96]. These could be contributing factors influencing the association between PIU and ADHD symptoms.…”

The Association between Pathological Internet Use and Comorbid Psychopathology: A Systematic Review

et al. 2012

Background: Pathological Internet use (PIU) has been conceptualized as an impulse-control disorder that shares characteristics with behavioral addiction. Research has indicated a potential link between PIU and psychopathology; however, the significance of the correlation remains ambiguous. The primary objective of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate studies performed on the correlation between PIU and comorbid psychopathology; the secondary aims were to map the geographical distribution of studies, present a current synthesis of the evidence, and assess the quality of available research. Sampling and Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted using the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsychINFO, Global Health, and Web of Science. PIU and known synonyms were included in the search. Data were extracted based on PIU and psychopathology, including depression, anxiety, symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive symptoms, social phobia and hostility/aggression. Effect sizes for the correlations observed were identified from either the respective publication or calculated using Cohen’s d or R². The potential effect of publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot model and evaluated by Egger’s test based on a linear regression. Results: The majority of research was conducted in Asia and comprised cross-sectional designs. Only one prospective study was identified. Twenty articles met the preset inclusion and exclusion criteria; 75% reported significant correlations of PIU with depression, 57% with anxiety, 100% with symptoms of ADHD, 60% with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and 66% with hostility/aggression. No study reported associations between PIU and social phobia. The majority of studies reported a higher rate of PIU among males than females. The relative risks ranged from an OR of 1.02 to an OR of 11.66. The strongest correlations were observed between PIU and depression; the weakest was hostility/aggression. Conclusions: Depression and symptoms of ADHD appeared to have the most significant and consistent correlation with PIU. Associations were reported to be higher among males in all age groups. Limitations included heterogeneity in the definition and diagnosis of PIU. More studies with prospective designs in Western countries are critically needed.

Self-Report of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder in Adolescents

The validity of self-report measurement varies widely according to the type of behaviour investigated. For behaviour of overactivity and inattention, adolescents seem to underestimate their problems. Well validated instruments for self-report of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are lacking yet, and research on ADHD beyond childhood relies quite heavily on self-report. In this study, an attempt is made to validate an adolescent interview scale for DSM-based ADHD symptoms. Results show that the measure has a high inter-rater reliability and is a good predictor of general outcome. However, adolescents do not validly report on symptoms specifically of ADHD. Possible implications for research and clinical practice are formulated.

“…The ratings of relationships with peers, siblings, and mothers and fathers were 1 for ''very true,'' 2 for ''pretty true,'' 3 for ''not very true,'' and 4 for ''not at all true.'' Previous studies have found the SAICA to be a reliable and valid measure in assessing children's and adolescents' social adjustment in both clinical and research settings [35]. The Chinese version of the SAICA was also found to have satisfactory psychometric properties [36].…”

“…The SAICA was designed to assess children's and adolescents' adaptive functioning in four major role areas, including school, spare-time activities, peer relations, and home life [34]. Twelve subscales were derived from responses to items in each of the major role domains [34,35]. Given that the main focus of this study was to examine children's social functioning across different contexts (i.e., school and family), only five subscales were selected and used in the present study, which included school social problems, peer relationships, sibling relationships, mother-child relationships and fatherchild relationships.…”

This study examined social problems at school and relationships with peers, siblings, mothers, and fathers among children with ADHD only (n = 41), ODD only (n = 14), ADHD + ODD (n = 47), and normal controls (n = 204) from a school-based sample of 2,463 first to ninth graders in Taiwan. ADHD and ODD symptoms were determined by teacher and mother reports on the Conners' Rating Scales and social adjustment problems were assessed by mother reports on the Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents. Results indicated that relative to normal controls, children with ADHD + ODD displayed greater levels of social adjustment problems across domains (i.e., school, peers, siblings, and parents) while children with ADHD were significantly more impaired only in social adjustment at schools and children with ODD were more impaired only in social adjustment at home. Some similarities and differences in our findings, in relation to the Western literature, were discussed.
