Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

144
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

114
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Conduct Disorder

99
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

185
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

98
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

137
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Previous studies link neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD to school absenteeism.
  • The specific mechanisms driving ADHD's risk for absenteeism remain unclear.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective support strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate school attendance problems (SAP) in adolescents with ADHD compared to neurotypical peers.
  • To identify symptoms associated with SAP in adolescents with ADHD.
  • To explore perceived reasons for SAP among adolescents with ADHD.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved 1,569 adolescents (95 with ADHD, 1,474 neurotypical) from the 'School absence in Finland' project.
  • The Inventory of School Attendance Problems (ISAP), including symptom (ISAP S) and function (ISAP F) scales, was used.
  • Linear mixed effects models analyzed ISAP outcomes, controlling for background variables.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents with ADHD exhibited significantly higher school absenteeism over the prior 12 weeks.
  • ADHD group reported more symptoms of agoraphobia/panic, family problems, and issues with parents.
  • Separation anxiety, agoraphobia/panic, aggression, and family/parental issues were frequently cited as reasons for SAP.

Conclusions:

  • Findings align with hypotheses, confirming increased absenteeism and specific symptom clusters in adolescents with ADHD.
  • Perceived reasons for SAP in ADHD include anxiety and family-related difficulties.
  • Results on reasons for SAP require cautious interpretation due to low response rates on the ISAP F scale.
