DescriptionThose with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are diagnosed with one of three subtypes, Inattentive, Hyperactive/Impulsive, or the Combined subtype. Recent research has concluded that impulsive behavior is the product of multiple psychological traits instead of one impulsivity construct (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001). The strength of these different impulsivity sub-dimensions affect which type(s) of impulsive behavior an individual exhibits. This project examined the relationship between scores on self-report and behavioral measures of impulsivity constructs and scores on a measure of ADHD subtype symptoms. The secondary data used in this proposal was collected from 138 undergraduate students at Rutgers University – Camden. Participants were administered several behavioral measures of impulsivity (the Go-Stop and Immediate Memory Task), the Urgency Premeditation Perseverance Sensation Seeking Impulsive Behavior Subscales with the Positive Urgency Measure (UPPS-P) (a questionnaire measuring different impulsivity dimensions), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS). Analyses were conducted to examine the associations between ADHD subtypes and impulsivity sub dimensions. Throughout the tests conducted both subtypes were strongly associated with self-report measures of impulsivity and not associated with behavioral measures of impulsivity. These analyses revealed that generally symptoms of ADHD subtypes are not differently associated with measures of impulsivity. The one exception was the Inattentive subtype of ADHD’s unique associations with a self-reported lack of Perseverance.
