Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is known to cause significant difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Empirical research in career development has demonstrated that close, supportive relationships are associated with positive vocational behaviors (Kenny et al., 2018). We examined dysfunctional career thoughts and perceived quality of parental relationships in high school students with ADHD. One hundred two adolescents (76 boys, 26 girls) with ADHD responded to measures of career thoughts and interpersonal relationship quality. Preliminary exploratory analysis, using multiple linear regression, showed that male participants' dysfunctional career thoughts were statistically significantly related to their relationships with their mothers. For female participants, relationships with fathers represented an area for further exploration. Results suggest that career professionals can enhance positive outcomes of decision‐making and problem‐solving issues in adolescence with additional focus on relational interventions. Future research should incorporate the influence of gender and race/ethnicity on crucial relationships and focus on paternal relationships using cognitive information processing–based interventions with this population.

注意缺陷/多动症青少年的职业生涯功能障碍和父母关系的感知质量

注意缺陷/多动症（ADHD）会在人际关系中造成重大困难。职业发展的实证研究表明，紧密的，支持性的关系与积极的职业行为相关（Kenny et al。，2018）。我们研究了患有多动症的高中学生的职业生涯功能障碍和父母关系的感知质量。患有多动症的102名青少年（76名男孩，26名女孩）对职业思想和人际关系质量的测量做出了反应。使用多元线性回归的初步探索性分析显示，男性参与者功能失调的职业思想在统计学上与他们与母亲的关系显着相关。对于女性参与者，与父亲的关系是一个需要进一步探索的领域。结果表明，职业专业人员可以通过关注关系干预来增强青少年决策和解决问题的积极成果。未来的研究应考虑性别和种族/民族对关键关系的影响，并使用基于认知信息处理的干预措施，重点关注父系关系。
