Perfil social de los subtipos del Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad

Abstract

This study analyzes the existing relation between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and different social profiles, as much at descriptive level as predictive. For it, 150 students (10-16 years) and 14 professors, selected randomly of 14 scholastic centers have evaluated themselves to. The obtained results have shown that the children with hyperactive symptoms differ from the students controls in all the variables of socialization except in social anxiety and timidity. The social self-control constitutes the main variable implied in the diminution of the hyperactive symptoms. Also, oppositional and social retirement accentuate the hyperactive symptoms in differentiated ADHD subtypes (attention-deficit and combined Subtype). Finally. the group with combined symptoms shows a misadjusted profile of socialization comparatively more, with high oppositional and little consideration with the others.
