| Abstract | This study examined the effects ofattention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(AD/UD) symptoms on the psychological well-being ofcollege students and the quality oftheir adjustment to college.Participants in this study were 198 students from California State University at San Bemardino,ranging in agefrom 16to 59, who volunteered to respond to a questionnaire packet.The packet contained a Psychological Well-Being measure, Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire,an AP/HD Adult Behavioral Rating Scale, and a Demographic form. Correlational analyses revealed the significant negative relationship between AD/HD symptoms,the six well-being dihiensipns(i.e., self acceptance,positive relations with others,autonomy,environmental mastery,purpose in life, and personal growth)and adjustment to college scales(i.e., academic,social,personal-emotional,and attachrhent to the institution). AD/HD symptoms,wefe npt sighificantly correlated with years in school, SES,or use ofservices at the.05 significance level. Step-wise regressions support the hypotheses that AD/HD symptoms,along with other variables(e.g., age,socio-economic status, years in school,use ofservices)are significant predictors ofstudent well-being and adaptation to the academic environment. |
