Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the relation between sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptoms and self-reported mind-wandering in a sample of adolescents with ADHD. Method: Adolescents (N = 79; aged 13–17 years; 70% male) diagnosed with ADHD completed measures of SCT, ADHD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, in addition to mind-wandering. Parents also provided ratings of adolescents’ ADHD symptoms. Results: All adolescent-reported psychopathology dimensions, including ADHD, internalizing, and SCT, were significantly bivariately correlated with greater mind-wandering. However, in regression analysis that considered psychopathologies simultaneously, SCT was the only dimension uniquely associated with greater mind-wandering. This finding was unchanged when parent-reported ADHD symptoms were included in the model. Conclusion: These findings are the first to show that SCT symptoms are uniquely related with self-reported mind-wandering in adolescents with ADHD and underscore the importance of considering co-occurring SCT symptoms when testing the interrelations between ADHD and mind-wandering. Replication is needed in larger samples and with other measures of mind-wandering.

目的：本研究的目的是测试多动症青少年样本中认知节奏迟缓（SCT）症状与自我报告的走神之间的关系。方法：被诊断患有 ADHD 的青少年（N = 79；年龄在 13-17 岁；70% 男性）除了走神外，还完成了 SCT、ADHD、焦虑和抑郁症状的测量。父母还提供了青少年多动症症状的评分。结果：所有青少年报告的精神病理学维度，包括 ADHD、内化和 SCT，都与更大的思想游荡显着双变量相关。然而，在同时考虑精神病理学的回归分析中，SCT 是唯一与更大的思想游荡相关的维度。当模型中包含父母报告的 ADHD 症状时，这一发现没有改变。结论：这些研究结果首次表明 SCT 症状与 ADHD 青少年自我报告的走神有关，并强调了在测试 ADHD 与走神之间的相互关系时考虑同时发生的 SCT 症状的重要性。需要在更大的样本中进行复制，并使用其他的走神测量。
