Self-Perceptions
in ADHD
Dr.
Betsy Hoza at the University of Vermont has been conducting research
on the self-perceptions of children with
ADHD for many years. Her
earliest work began at the University of Pittsburgh where she
studied the extent to which
children with ADHD have insight into
their difficulties. She is now directing an add-on study to the
Pittsburgh ADHD
Longitudinal Study (PALS) in which she is examining
these early self-perceptions as predictors of adjustment in
adulthood. For example, she is interested in answering whether
insight is important for healthy long-term adjustment in
vadulthood.
Once all of the PALS participants have passed into adulthood, she
will begin to answer these intriguing
questions that will ultimately
have important implications for the development of effective
treatments for youth with
ADHD.
