Abstract:
Objective: To examine the relationship between ADHD and regret propensity; To investigate two
possible mediating variables-perfectionism and delay of gratification--between ADHD and regret. Methods:
Totally 237 college students were recruited as participants and were asked to finish Chinese Conner’s Adult
ADHD Rating Scales, Regret Scale, Delay of Gratification Questionnaire, and two perfectionism scales
(Maximization Scale and Imperfection Anxiety Questionnaire). Results: ADHD propensity is moderately
correlated with regret (r=0.479, p<0.01). ADHD propensity is also moderately correlated with perfectionism
(r=0.462, p<0.01). Perfectionism is associated with regret (r=0.556, p<0.01). Perfectionism fully mediates the
effect of ADHD propensity on regret. But delay of gratification does not work as a mediatory factor between
ADHD and regret. Conclusion: This study suggests that the ADHD propensity increases the occurrence of
perfectionism, and individuals with perfectionism are vulnerable to regret.
目的:本研究探讨注意缺陷多动倾向与后悔倾向之间的关系,并探究延迟满足能力和完美主义倾向对这个关系的中介作用。方法:以 237 名大学生为被试(男生 106 人,女生 137 人),填写中文版成人 ADHD 注意缺陷多动障碍自评量表、后悔量表、延迟满足问卷和完美主义问卷(测量极大化与不完美焦虑两个维度)。 结果:注意力缺陷多动倾向与后悔倾向存在中等程度的正相关,与完美主义存在中等程度的正相关;完美主义与后悔也存在中等程度的正相关。完美主义在 ADHD 倾向和后悔倾向之间起着完全中介作用,延迟满足能力在两者之间无中介作用。结论:注意力缺陷多动倾向可能影响完美主义性格倾向的形成,而这种性格又可能导致了较高的后悔倾向。
