Abstract

Objective: To expand on current adult ADHD literature by investigating the stability of ADHD symptomatology (i.e., inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity) across a 15-year period (from emerging adulthood to early middle adulthood) and the relative contributions of ADHD symptomatology to life success.

Method: A sample of 320 post-secondary students was initially assessed for ADHD symptomatology using the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS). Fifteen years later, participants were re-assessed using the CAARS and several measures of life success (e.g., relationship satisfaction, career satisfaction, and stress levels).

Results: Inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms showed strong stability across the 15-year period. Additionally, inattention symptoms during emerging adulthood and early middle adulthood were consistently associated with poorer life success (i.e., lower relationship and career satisfaction), particularly for men. Associations for hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms were less consistent.

Conclusion: ADHD symptomatology can be conceptualized as a stable, dimensional trait across adulthood, with important impacts on life success.

多动症症状与生活之间的纵向联系：从成年初期到中年早期的成功。

目的通过研究多动症症状（即注意力不集中和多动-冲动）在15年期间（从刚成年到中年早期）的稳定性，以及多动症症状对人生成功的相对影响，对目前的成人多动症文献进行扩展：方法：使用康纳斯成人多动症评定量表（CAARS）对 320 名大专生进行了多动症状的初步评估。15年后，我们使用CAARS和几种衡量生活成功的指标（如人际关系满意度、职业满意度和压力水平）对参与者进行了重新评估：结果：注意力不集中和多动-冲动症状在 15 年间表现出很强的稳定性。此外，成年期和中年早期的注意力不集中症状一直与较差的人生成就（即较低的人际关系满意度和职业满意度）相关，尤其是男性。多动-冲动症状的相关性则不太一致：结论：多动症症状可被视为成年期的一种稳定、多维特征，对人生成功有重要影响。
