| Abstract: | PROBLEM: There are conflicting research data regarding the relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and low self-esteem. METHODS: A person-oriented approach was used to study the relationships between ADHD symptoms and self-esteem in a longitudinal study of twins starting when they were 8 years old. A cluster analysis was performed at age 13 using five subscales from a self-esteem questionnaire. FINDINGS: High scores of ADHD symptoms were linked to profiles characterized by lower scores in the domains 'skills and talents' and 'psychological well-being'. CONCLUSION: Children with high scores of ADHD symptoms often have specific problem profiles of self-esteem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
