Abstract: | Although attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults has recently emerged as an important area of research,
little attention has been given to the family functioning of women with ADHD, particularly in their role as mothers. We examined
parenting self-esteem, locus of control, and disciplinary styles in a community sample of mothers with varying levels of ADHD
symptoms. Women with high levels of ADHD symptoms reported more occupational and psychiatric problems than women with lower
levels of ADHD symptoms. They also reported lower parenting self-esteem, a more external parenting locus of control, and less
effective disciplinary styles. The findings suggest that women with ADHD symptoms may face a number of difficulties within
the parenting domain. |
