This study aimed to describe and compare the educational, social, and family profiles of adults with and without ADHD from two different settings: a prison and an outpatient psychiatric setting. A total of 542 participants, aged between 17 and 69 years, took part in the study. The participants consisted of four groups: a prison sample with ADHD (n = 69) and without ADHD (n = 183), and an outpatient psychiatric sample with ADHD (n = 218) and without ADHD (n = 72). The results showed that, firstly, there were some statistically significant differences between the groups in academic history, social and family situation, and the adoption of risk behaviors during adolescence and early adulthood. Secondly, some of these differences were related to diagnosis (ADHD versus non-ADHD) while others were related to the sample being examined (prison versus psychiatric). The findings from the study showed the presence of significant implications in social, family, educational, and employment achievements both for adults with ADHD (both prison and psychiatric samples) and for adults without ADHD.

成人多动症的社会心理特征：监狱和门诊精神病学样本的比较研究

这项研究旨在描述和比较来自两种不同情况的成人和不患有ADHD的成年人的教育，社会和家庭概况：监狱和门诊精神病院。共有542名参与者（年龄在17至69岁之间）参加了这项研究。参加者分为四组：有ADHD（n = 69）和无ADHD（n = 183）的监狱样本，以及有ADHD（n = 218）和无ADHD（n = 72）的门诊精神病样本。结果表明，首先，各组之间在学历，社会和家庭状况以及在青春期和成年早期采用风险行为之间存在统计学上的显着差异。其次，其中一些差异与诊断有关（ADHD与非ADHD），而其他差异与所检查的样本有关（监狱与精神病）。该研究的结果表明，无论是患有ADHD的成年人（监狱和精神病学样本）还是没有ADHD的成年人，其在社会，家庭，教育和就业成就方面均具有重要意义。
