“…That being said, we expected various structures with three specific factors to yield fairly similar model fit. We made this prediction given that previously identified models with three specific factors appear to differ from one another mostly to the extent that items assessing excessive talkativeness are better conceptualized as defining a verbal motor/impulsive factor along with other impulsive symptoms (i.e., blurting out answers, interrupts others; Gibbins et al, 2012) versus defining a hyperactivity factor with other symptoms such as fidgetiness and excessive energy (e.g., Span et al, 2002).…”

There has been growing interest in studying attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adulthood as a result of research indicating that ADHD often persists into adulthood and frequently is comorbid with other psychiatric disorders. Adult ADHD symptoms are most commonly assessed via self-report, but prior research examining the structure of self-reported adult ADHD symptoms has yielded discrepant results. Explicating the factor structure of ADHD symptom measures is essential to determine if such self-report measures assess symptom dimensions showing distinctive relations with other psychopathology and psychosocial functioning. Consequently, we examined the structure of adult ADHD symptoms in a large sample of adult outpatients (N = 1,094). Symptoms were assessed via the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS; Kessler et al., 2005), which has become the most widely used self-report ADHD measure. Additionally, we extended prior research by examining the relations for emergent ADHD dimensions with other psychopathology and psychosocial impairment. Results indicated that the ASRS's items define a bifactor structure with specific dimensions of inattentiveness, motor hyperactivity/impulsivity, and verbal hyperactivity/impulsivity. Our results indicate that specific ADHD factors show distinctive relations in some ways. For example, verbal hyperactivity/impulsivity showed negative relations with major depressive disorder, whereas inattentiveness showed positive relations with major depression. These results highlight the need for future research determining the extent to which making distinctions among various ADHD symptom types (i.e., distinguishing motor and verbal hyperactivity/impulsivity) is empirically warranted and clinically useful.

“…In general, independent of the type of samples examined and the ADHD measures used, for first-order models, these studies found adequate fit for the two-factor model. When examined, the findings showed better fit for three-factor models with group factors for IA, HY, and IM, and IA, motoric HY/IM, and verbal HY/IM over the two-factor model (Gomez, 2014(Gomez, , 2016Proctor & Prevatt, 2009;Span et al, 2002). Although Davis et al (2011) reported adequate fit and no difference in fit between these three-and two-factor models, they argued in favor of the two-factor model as it is more parsimonious.…”

“…To date, many studies have examined the factor structure of the ADHD symptoms in the adult community (Gomez, 2016;Gomez et al, 2018;Morin et al, 2016), university students (Davis et al, 2011;Span et al, 2002), clinical (Gibbins et al, 2012;Proctor & Prevatt, 2009;Stanton et al, 2018) and mixed samples, including parents of ADHD children, and some with ADHD samples (Martel et al, 2012;Park et al, 2018). Across these studies, several different ADHD rating scales measures have been used, including Barkley and Murphy's (1998) Clinical Symptom Scale (Gomez, 2016;Gomez et al, 2018;Martel et al, 2012;Park et al, 2018;Proctor & Prevatt, 2009), Kessler et al's (2005) Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Symptom Checklist (ASRS; Morin et al, 2016;Stanton et al, 2018), the ADHD Rating Scale-IV , the Conners's Adult ADHD Rating Scales (Conners et al, 1999), the Brown Attention-Deficit Disorder Scale for Adults (Brown, 1996), the Wender Utah Rating Scale (Ward et al, 1993), and unnamed questionnaires comprising the 18 ADHD symptoms (Davis et al, 2011;Span et al, 2002). In general, independent of the type of samples examined and the ADHD measures used, for first-order models, these studies found adequate fit for the two-factor model.…”

This study examined the structure of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in an adult community sample using first-order confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and bifactor confirmatory factor analysis and ESEM models, with two group factors (inattention [IA] and hyperactivity/impulsivity [HY/IM]) and two different three group factors (IA, hyperactivity [HY], and impulsivity [IM]; and IA, motoric HY/IM, and verbal HY/IM). A total of 738 adults (males = 374 and females = 364) between 17 and 72 years of age completed the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. The results provided most support for the ESEM model with group factors for IA, motoric HY/IM, and verbal HY/IM. The factors in this model were reasonably well defined, had good internal consistency omega reliabilities, and had support for their external validities, thereby making it a suitable model for ratings of the ADHD symptoms presented in the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

“…For example, a CFA of self-reported symptoms in a large undergraduate student sample (N = 1,503) indicated support for a two-factor structure of ADHD, consistent with the conceptualization of ADHD in the DSM-IV and in the current edition, DSM-5 (Smith & Johnson, 1998). However, other studies have indicated a three-factor correlated model of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity provides the best fit of self-reported symptoms in adult samples (Glutting et al, 2005;Park et al, 2018;Proctor & Prevatt, 2009;Span et al, 2002). Two of these studies (Park et al, 2018;Proctor & Prevatt, 2009) assessed self-reported ADHD symptoms using the CSS.…”

The Factor Structure and Gender Invariance of ADHD Symptoms in College Students

Previous studies examining the factor structure of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in adults using self-report measures have shown mixed results, supporting two-, three-, and bifactor solutions. The current study further investigated the structure of ADHD symptoms in adults using the Current Symptoms Scale and rigorous model evaluation in a sample of 892 college students. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze and compare five-factor structures; a single-factor model, a two-factor model, a three-factor model, and two bifactor models. A single-factor model with correlated residuals best fit the data. Factor correlations with nearly all related constructs (i.e., symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder, depression, impairment, previous ADHD diagnosis, grades, and substance use) were significant in the expected directions and the model was invariant across gender. These findings contribute to a growing body of work suggesting a unidimensional factor may best represent ADHD symptoms in adults. Implications are discussed.
