Abstract:
This study examines emotional regulation characteristics in young children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their relationship with executive functions. The study is relevant given the high prevalence of ADHD and the significant impact of emotional dysregulation on school adaptation, behavior, and social functioning. The aim of the study was to identify emotional regulation characteristics in children with ADHD and determine its relationship with executive functions. Sixty children aged 7—10 years participated in the study. The DERS scale, Vanderbilt scale, Stroop test, GO/No-Go test, correction test, working memory assessment methods, and neuropsychological tests were used. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U tests and Spearman correlation coefficient. The study results showed that children with ADHD exhibit significant difficulties with emotional regulation, decreased inhibitory control, and impaired attention and working memory. Statistically significant relationships were found between emotional dysregulation and executive function measures. The practical significance of the study lies in the potential use of the results in neuropsychological diagnostics, interventions, and psychological support for children with ADHD, as well as in the development of programs for developing emotional self-regulation and executive functions.
