The goal of this dissertation was to examine the impact of maternal\r\nAttention-Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on important parenting behaviours. Sixty\r\nmothers between the ages of 31 and 50 with (n= 30) and without (n= 30) ADHD and their 8\r\nto 14 year-old children with ADHD completed a series of self-report and laboratory measures\r\ndesigned to measure maternal monitoring of child behavior, consistency in parenting, and\r\nparenting problem-solving abilities. These parenting behaviours were selected because of\r\ntheir established links to the development of child behaviour problems. As predicted, mothers\r\nwith ADHD were found to be poorer at monitoring child behaviour and less consistent\r\ndisciplinarians compared to mothers without ADHD. There was some evidence to support\r\nthe prediction that mothers with ADHD were less effective at problem-solving about childrearing\r\nissues than control mothers. The differences found between the two groups of\r\nmothers persisted after child oppositional and conduct disordered behaviour were controlled.\r\nThese results indicate that parenting is an area of functioning that requires more attention in\r\nadult ADHD research. Future studies are needed to investigate areas of challenge, and\r\nstrength, among parents with ADHD.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"4359916 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
