“…This further clarifies a specific future orientation pathway associated with ADHD compared to previous studies (Patros et al, 2016 ). This future orientation deficit is also in line with the well-established time perception deficit of ADHD (e.g., shorter time duration judgement; see reviews by Mette, 2023 ; Nejati & Yazdani, 2020 ; Ptacek et al, 2019 ), indicating the discrimination between temporal orientation and risk/reward-seeking is important because related intervention strategies differ.…”

Adolescence is characterised by a peak in sensation seeking accompanied by gradually developing self-control skills. Adolescents typically show steeper delay discounting performance than other age groups; a feature that is transdiagnostically related to a variety of mental health disorders. However, delay discounting performance is not a singular mental process but involves both risk/reward and future orientation elements, usually operationalised as probability/risk and time discounting tasks, respectively. To clarify the specific relations between the risk/reward and future orientation elements of delay discounting and different types of mental health problems, two bi-factor models and a series of structural equation models (SEMs) were fitted to multi-informant (parent and adolescent self-reported) mental health data from a large UK study. A transdiagnostic promotive role of future orientation was found using bi-factor modelling to separate general and dimension-specific mental health variation; however, this was limited to parent reports. In addition, future orientation was negatively associated with conduct problems and ADHD symptoms, but positively associated with emotional problems. Risk aversion was negatively associated with conduct problems, but positively associated with emotional and peer problems. The findings highlight that risk/reward and future orientation elements of delay discounting play partly distinct roles in different mental health problems and can serve both promotive and risk roles during adolescence. Findings also illuminate which elements of delay discounting should be intervention targets for different mental health concerns.

Background: Adolescence is characterised by a peak in sensation seeking accompanied by gradually developing self-control skills. Adolescents typically show steeper delay discounting performance than other age groups; a feature that is transdiagnostically related to a variety of mental health disorders. However, delay discounting performance is not a singular mental process but involves the competition between reward seeking and future orientation, which are usually operationalised as probability and time discounting tasks, respectively. Methods: To clarify the specific relations between the reward seeking and future orientation components of delay discounting and different types of mental health problems, two bi-factor models and a series of structural equation models (SEMs) were fitted to multi-informant (parent and adolescent self-report) mental health data from a large longitudinal study. Results: Results suggested support for: 1) a general mental health p-factor and a transdiagnostic relation of time discounting to this factor based on parent reports; 2) time discounting (future orientation/time-waiting) as a protective factor for conduct and ADHD problems, but a risk factor for emotional problems; and 3) risk discounting preference (impulsive sensation seeking/risk-taking) as a protective factor for emotional and peer problems. Conclusions: The findings highlight that time and risk aspects of delay discounting play partly distinct roles in different mental health problems and illuminate which aspects of delay discounting should be targeted for different mental health concerns.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and executive dysfunction. While commonly associated with childhood, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder often persists into adulthood and poses significant challenges in various aspects of life, leading to negative self-perceptions, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of comorbid mental health conditions. There is a desperate need for more research about attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder from a Māori (Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) perspective. Considering the limited research, this article introduces the metaphor of the pīwakawaka (New Zealand Fantail) as a culturally grounded way of conceptualising attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder from a Māori perspective. The pīwakawaka’s characteristics, including its quick movements, curiosity, and ability to adapt to changing environments, mirror certain aspects of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
