State, trait anxiety and selective attention differences in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) subtypes

Abstract: One of the disorders that most affects school performance is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The criteria established by DSM distinguish three subtypes: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive and combined. However, the expression of this disorder can be altered by its association with other disorders such as anxiety. The main goals of this study were to determine whether different patterns of attention (selective and concentration) and anxiety (state and trait anxiety) emerge from ADHD subtypes, a… Show more

“…In addition, all of the participants in the sample with ADHD were diagnosed with the combined type from the DSM-IV, so generalization of the results should generally not extend beyond this subtype. Especially because both ADHD subtypes differs significantly in attention and in state and trait anxiety ( González-Castro, Rodriguez, Cueli, García, & Alvarez-García, 2015 ). Moreover, comorbid problems were reported using a screening measure.…”

“…For example, within the Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA), Jensen et al [42] showed that, in the group of children with ADHD and anxiety symptoms, inattention seems to prevail over hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms.

“…Although some studies have been carried out with female prisoners (Hennessey et al, 2010;Konstenius et al, 2015), which support some of our findings, it would be advisable to have more balanced groups for future research. Second, it would be useful to include a measure of the severity of the symptoms in the clinical sample, in order to test whether this variable could explain some of the differences found in our study (González-Castro, Rodríguez, Cueli, García, & Alvarez-García, 2015). Third, the prison ADHD group was identified from responses to the ASRS scales and their diagnosis was then confirmed with ADHD Rating Scale-IV.…”
