Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is strongly associated with social functioning deficits in adolescents. However, the factors underlying this relationship are not well understood. Prior research has established that emotion dysregulation (ED) mediates the relationship between ADHD symptoms and social skills in middle school students and that the mediational role of ED is moderated by youth's level of depression. The current study examined whether this model holds true in high school students with ADHD, despite developmental and environmental changes during maturation. Cross-sectional measures of ADHD symptoms, emotion regulation, depression, and social functioning were collected from 174 high school students with ADHD (M age = 14.51; 81.4% male). Analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Bootstrapping results of the omnibus effect of a multiple-mediational model indicated that ADHD and ED jointly account for 49% of the variance in parent-rated social skills (i.e., evidence of mediation by ED). However, counter to our hypothesis, depression did not moderate this relationship. This study provides evidence that ED accounts for the relationship between ADHD and social deficits in an older adolescent population. Results have significant implications for intervention strategies to improve emotional self-awareness and control in adolescents with ADHD.

注意缺陷/多动障碍的高中生的社交缺陷和情绪失调的作用。

注意缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）与青少年的社交功能缺陷密切相关。但是，这种关系的基础因素尚不清楚。先前的研究已经确定，情绪失调（ED）介导了中学生ADHD症状与社交技能之间的关系，并且ED的中介作用由青年的抑郁水平减轻。当前的研究检查了该模型是否在患有多动症的高中学生中成立，尽管在成熟过程中发育和环境发生了变化。从174名ADHD高中学生（M年龄= 14.51； 81.4％男性）中收集了ADHD症状，情绪调节，抑郁和社交功能的横断面测量。使用PROSSESS宏对SPSS进行了分析。多元模型综合效应的自举结果表明，ADHD和ED共同占父母评定的社交技能差异的49％（即ED进行调解的证据）。但是，与我们的假设相反，抑郁并没有缓解这种关系。这项研究提供了证据，表明ED可以解释老年青少年人口ADHD与社会缺陷之间的关系。研究结果对改善多动症青少年情绪自我意识和控制的干预策略具有重要意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。抑郁并没有缓解这种关系。这项研究提供了证据，表明ED可以解释老年青少年人口ADHD与社会缺陷之间的关系。研究结果对改善多动症青少年情绪自我意识和控制的干预策略具有重要意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。抑郁并没有缓解这种关系。这项研究提供了证据，表明ED可以解释老年青少年人口ADHD与社会缺陷之间的关系。研究结果对改善多动症青少年情绪自我意识和控制的干预策略具有重要意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
