Abstract: (328 Views)
Introduction: In recent decades, the association of symptoms of cognitive disengagement syndrome with subtypes of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder has been the focus of researchers’ attention in this field. The aim of the present study is to determine the mediating role of deficit in executive function in the relationship between symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disengagement syndrome.
Materials and Methods: The current research is descriptive and of the correlation and path analysis type. In 2023, 612 college students from different universities of Iran selected by the available sampling method completed 2 questionnaires including Barkley ADHD Adult Rating Scale (BAARS) and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS). The data was analyzed by using the Lisrel 8.8 software and the path analysis method.
Results: At a significance level of 0.001, all three variables of attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity had indirect effects on cognitive disengagement syndrome. Thereby, for the effect of attention deficit and impulsivity, the two variables of self-organization/problem solving and self-motivation played a mediating role, but for the indirect effect of hyperactivity on cognitive disengagement syndrome, only self-organization/problem solving played a mediating role. In general, it can be said that deficit in executive functions plays a significant mediating role between symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disengagement syndrome.
Conclusion: Considering the mediating role of executive function of self-organization/problem solving and self-motivation, it is expected that, in addition to more accurate differential diagnosis, by considering these executive function in the design and planning of treatment, concurrent with improving Symptoms of ADHD, improvement in the symptoms of cognitive disengagement syndrome could also be observed. |
