Introduction:
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children, affecting psychological and social functioning. A key challenge for individuals with ADHD is a tendency toward antisocial behaviors. However, limited research has explored protective factors that can mitigate these behaviors. This study investigates whether a sense of coherence acts as a protective variable against antisocial tendencies in females with ADHD.
Methodology:
This correlational study involved 351 female high school students from five schools in District 8, Tehran, selected through multistage cluster sampling. Participants completed the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-V 1.1), the Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire by Burt and Donnellan, and the Sense of Coherence Scale by Felensborg. Data analysis used Pearson's correlation and Hayes' PROCESS regression analysis with SPSS version 27.
Results:
Results indicated a significant positive correlation (r = 0.24, p < 0.01) between ADHD symptoms and antisocial behaviors. Moreover, sense of coherence moderated this relationship; higher coherence levels reduced the strength of the link between ADHD symptoms and antisocial tendencies, with an interaction effect size of 0.01. Although the moderation was moderate, it highlights the protective role of coherence.
Conclusion:
Findings suggest that individuals with ADHD who have a strong sense of coherence tend to exhibit fewer antisocial behaviors. Promoting coherence could serve as a valuable intervention target to mitigate antisocial conduct among vulnerable youths with ADHD.
