“…Further, the study explored the factors that predict a positive perception of distance learning, comparing students with and without ADHD/SLD. More specifically, the following three hypotheses were posed:H1 - Differences between students with and without ADHD/SLD : Based on the existing literature, we expected students with ADHD/SLD to report lower levels of positive distance learning perception (Laslo-Roth et al, 2022), lower ASE (Mana et al, 2022) and SOC (Ben-Naim et al, 2017; Sharabi et al, 2016), and higher levels of loneliness (Laslo-Roth et al, 2022; Mana et al, 2022) than students without disabilities.
H2 - Sex differences : Based on previous studies ( Aristovnik et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2021; Shraga-Roitman et al, 2022), we expected female students to report higher levels of positive distance learning perceptions than male students.
H3 - Associations between positive distance learning and study variables : Based on existing studies, we hypothesized that distance learning perception would be negatively correlated with loneliness (Laslo-Roth et al, 2022). Due to a lack of research, we further explored the variables that predict a positive distance learning perception without a particular hypothesis.
