ABSTRACT

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now conceptualized as a life-course persistent disorder, including impairments in the occupational functional domains. Occupational impairment is one of the considerations in contemporary diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This study compares the workplace behavior of 26 young adults without ADHD to 24 young adults with ADHD in a simulated pizza restaurant and delivery setting on a job application completion task, in a job interview, and on job performance tasks. Results indicated that there were significant differences in masked ratings of job interview performance, favoring the performance of individuals without ADHD. No significant differences were obtained for job applications and job performance. Results suggest that job interviewing skills may be an important area to address for individuals with ADHD entering the workforce.

摘要

注意缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）现在被概念化为一种生命过程中的持续性疾病，包括职业功能领域的损害。职业障碍是现代多动症诊断标准中的考虑因素之一。这项研究将26位没有ADHD的年轻人的工作场所行为与24位患有ADHD的年轻人在模拟披萨餐厅和分娩设置中完成工作申请完成任务，面试和工作绩效任务的工作场所行为进行了比较。结果表明，工作面试表现的掩盖评价存在显着差异，偏向于没有多动症的人。在工作申请和工作绩效方面没有获得显着差异。
