Hannah Scott; Erin K. Shoulberg; Allison Krasner; Marissa Dennis; Connie L. Tompkins; Alan L. Smith; Betsy Hoza – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objectives: There is a need to examine the utility of objective measures of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children. Objective measures of ADHD symptoms, such as physical activity, may provide a more nuanced assessment of behavior that can be used to augment traditional cross-informant ratings of ADHD symptoms by…

Andrew E. Koepp; Elizabeth T. Gershoff – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Teachers frequently rate boys as more hyperactive/impulsive than girls and Black children more than White children (DuPaul et al., 2016; Miller et al., 2009). Do these ratings reflect true differences in their behavior? Researchers have compared parent and teacher reports (Miller et al., 2009), but is hard to draw conclusions from such comparisons…

Previous studies have hinted at sex differences in developmental trajectories in ADHD symptoms; however, little is known about the nature or cause of these differences and their implications for clinical practice. We used growth mixture modelling in a community-ascertained cohort of n = 1,571 participants to study sex differences in ADHD symptom…

Holm, Marja E.; Aunio, Pirjo; Björn, Piia M.; Klenberg, Liisa; Korhonen, Johan; Hannula, Markku S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
This study investigates behavioral executive functions (EFs) in the mathematics classroom context among adolescents with different mathematics performance levels. The EF problems were assessed by teachers using a behavioral rating inventory. Using cutoff scores on a standardized mathematics assessment, groups with mathematics difficulties (MD; n =…

One hundred forty-three teachers at 19 high schools across 4 states each rated 6 students from their first-period classes according to…

Tseng, Wan-Ling; Kawabata, Yoshito; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen; Banny, Adrienne M.; Lingras, Katherine A.; Crick, Nicki R. – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2012
This study examined the structural relations of preadolescents' inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, aggressive and prosocial behaviors, and peer functioning. There were 739 fourth (n = 239) and fifth (n = 500) graders (52.23% boys) in Taiwan who participated in this study. Preadolescents' inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity were…

Harrison, Judith R.; Vannest, Kimberly J.; Reynolds, Cecil R. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2011
Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether behaviors that differentiate children and adolescents with ADHD from those without are related to the primary diagnostic criteria (i.e., inattention and impulsivity--hyperactivity), symptoms of comorbid conditions, functional impairment, or a combination, and to determine whether…

Fontaine, Nathalie; Barker, Edward D.; Salekin, Randall T.; Viding, Essi – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2008
Individuals with psychopathic traits are hypothesized to be free of intellectual deficits and possibly even to exhibit good cognitive abilities. Previous studies, based on clinical and incarcerated youth, have shown inconsistent findings. We investigated the relationships between different dimensions of psychopathy (callous/unemotional traits,…
