Objectives: Many studies have indicated a close relationship between ADHD and mood symptoms in university students. In the present study, we explore the role of daily functional impairments and executive functioning in the ADHD-mood relationship. Method: A total of 343 adults (126 males) filled out (a) the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale, (b) the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, (c) the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale, and (d) the Executive Function Index Scale. Results: The correlation between mood symptoms and ADHD was .48 (moderate correlation) and dropped to .15 (weak correlation) when controlling for functional problems and executive functioning. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that both functional impairments and executive functioning significantly explained 42% to 53% of the variance of mood symptoms. The addition of ADHD symptoms to the model slightly increased the explained mood variance by only 1%. Conclusion: These findings underline the role of experienced difficulties in triggering mood symptoms in ADHD symptomatology.

行政和日常生活功能影响大学生多动症与情绪症状之间的关系。

目的：许多研究表明，ADHD 与大学生的情绪症状之间存在密切关系。在本研究中，我们探讨了日常功能障碍和执行功能在 ADHD 与情绪关系中的作用。方法：共有 343 名成人（126 名男性）填写了 (a) Conners 成人 ADHD 量表、(b) 抑郁焦虑和压力量表、(c) Weiss 功能障碍量表和 (d) 执行量表功能指标量表。结果：当控制功能问题和执行功能时，情绪症状和 ADHD 之间的相关性为 0.48（中度相关）并下降到 0.15（弱相关）。分层回归分析表明，功能障碍和执行功能均显着解释了 42% 至 53% 的情绪症状变异。将 ADHD 症状添加到模型中后，解释的情绪方差仅增加了 1%。结论：这些发现强调了在 ADHD 症状学中经历的困难在触发情绪症状方面的作用。
