“…PSS among children with ADHD characteristics (n = 48) from Grades 3 to 6 in the mid-western United States was lower than that of children without ADHD; such differences were found when PSS was measured in terms of its frequency but not in terms of its importance. Similar findings were obtained by Mastoras et al's (2018) study in which children with ADHD (n = 55) reported receiving lower support from parents, close friends, and teachers compared with the normative population.

“…The study points the way for social workers to adopt strengths and resilience perspectives (Mastoras et al, 2018) in assessing and helping children with ADHD. Besides assessing the risk factors for the healthy growth and development of children with ADHD, social workers should look for protective factors.…”

“…The parent-child relationship was positively correlated with a child's sense of competence. More importantly, the contradictory findings in these two studies (Ma et al, 2015;Ma, Lai, & Lo, 2017) have indicated an inadequacy of a lens of pathology in understanding children with ADHD and underscore the potential contribution of the strengths and resilience perspectives (Mastoras et al, 2018) that may account for the varied developmental outcomes of these children. The results of the latter study (Ma, Lai, & Lo, 2017) suggest a need for looking into mother-father differences in the study of PSS from a child's perspective and the plausible effect of a child's age on the linkage of predictors of the adjustment outcome, if any.…”

“…Three studies (Demaray & Elliott, 2001;Elmose & Lasgaard, 2017;Mastoras et al, 2018) on PSS of children with ADHD and its linkage to different developmental outcome indicators have been identified, namely, the outcome indicators self-concept (Demaray & Elliott, 2001), emotional well-being (Mastoras et al, 2018), and loneliness (Elmose & Lasgaard, 2017). PSS among children with ADHD characteristics (n = 48) from Grades 3 to 6 in the mid-western United States was lower than that of children without ADHD; such differences were found when PSS was measured in terms of its frequency but not in terms of its importance.…”

This paper reports on the results of a study (n = 113 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) that examined the effects of the children's perception of the social support (PSS) they receive from their mothers, fathers, teachers, and friends on their sense of competence and hope. PSS explained 13% of the children's overall sense of competence and 4% of their sense of hope. In the perspective of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the amount of maternal support, both in terms of importance and availability, was higher than that of their paternal support.However, the results of a multiple regression analysis have shown that paternal support accounted for 3% of the variance in the children's overall sense of competence and 5% in the variance of their physical competence. PSS from teachers had significantly explained 5%, 4%, and 4% of the variance in the children's overall, social, and physical competence, respectively. The PSS from friends significantly explained 7% of the variance in the children's cognitive competence and 4% of the variance in hope. Theoretical and clinical implications of the study are discussed. KEYWORDS children's perspective, Chinese children of ADHD, hope, perceived social support, perception of competence

Perceived social support in adults with autism spectrum disorder and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Perceived social support (PSS) has been related to physical and mental well-being in typically developing individuals, but systematic characterizations of PSS in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are limited. We compared self-report ratings of the multidimensional scale of PSS (MSPSS) among age- and IQ-matched groups of adults (18-58 years) with cognitively high-functioning ASD (N = 41), or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; N = 69), and neurotypical controls (NC; N = 69). Accompanying group comparisons, we used machine learning random forest (RF) analyses to explore predictors among a range of psychopathological and socio-emotional variables. Relative to both ADHD and NC, adults with ASD showed lower MSPSS ratings, specifically for the friends subscale (MSPSS-f). Across ASD and ADHD, interindividual differences in autism severity, affective empathy, symptoms of anxiety related to social interactions, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and somatization best predicted MSPSS-f. These relationships did not differ between clinical groups. While group comparisons demonstrated greater impairment in individuals with ASD, analyzing individuals' characteristics revealed cross-diagnoses similarities in regard to their MSPSS-f relationships. This is consistent with the Research Domain Criteria framework, supporting a trans-diagnostic approach as on the path toward "precision medicine."
