The aim of the research is to explore the psychometric characteristics of the Serbian adaptation of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist and Screener, as well as the Adult ADHD Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5). In addition to these scales, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Dickman Impulsivity Inventory (DII) and the questions about frequency of risky behaviours (use of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, overeating, and physical aggression) were administrated on the sample of 226 adults from the general population (43.8% males). The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the one-factor structure of the ASRS-5. The three-factor structure had the best fit indices for the ASRS-v1.1 Symptom Checklist (inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity factors), while the two-factor structure was the best for the ASRS-v1.1 Screener (inattention and hyperactivity factors). However, there was a large profile similarity between factors, which calls into question their discriminant validity. All scales correlated significantly with dysfunctional impulsivity and aspects of psychological distress, with ASRS-5 having the largest number of correlations with risky behaviours. There were no sex differences, and correlations with age were negative. It can be concluded that, although all scales show satisfactory psychometric characteristics, ASRS-5 is the preferred one, given its clear one-dimensional structure and somewhat better validity.

Objectives: (a) Evaluate the efficacy and duration of effect of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) in adult ADHD. (b) Assess the reliability and validity of the Adult ADHD Medication Smoothness of Effect Scale (AMSES) and Adult ADHD Medication Rebound Scale (AMRS). Method: Adults ( N = 40) with ADHD were treated with LDX for up to 12 weeks. The primary efficacy measure was the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS). The psychometric properties of the AMSES and AMRS are analyzed and compared with the ADHD-RS, ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) v1.1 Symptom Checklist, and Time-Sensitive ADHD Symptom Scale (TASS). Results: ADHD-RS scores were significantly improved with LDX. The AMSES and AMRS had high internal consistency and were correlated with the ADHD-RS, ASRS v1.1 Symptom Checklist, and TASS. Conclusion: LDX is effective in treating adult ADHD and has a smooth drug effect throughout the day with limited symptom rebound. The AMSES and AMRS are valid and reliable measures.

Uvod: Prefrontalni asocijativni korteks je sjedište izvršnih funkcija ("executive functions") među kojima je ipažnja. Preko talamičke radijacije i pedunculi thalami anterior, talamus je u značajnoj mjeri povezan sa čeonimrežnjem i zonama koje regulišu izvršne funkcije i pažnju. Cilj ovog rada je bio da se ispita uloga talamusa ukontroli i modulaciji psihičke funkcije pažnje posmatranjem korelacije veličine talamusa i intenzitetapsihopatoloških fenomena kod pacijenata sa poremećajem pažnje i hiperaktivitetom odraslih (ADHD) (F90.0).Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je obuhvatilo ukupno trideset i jednu osobu oboljelu od poremećaja pažnje ihiperaktiviteta odraslih (ADHD). Dijagnoza poremećaja pažnje je postavljana na osnovu DSM-V kriterijuma, aintenzitet pormećaja je procjenjivan primjenom skale za procjenu intenziteta poremećaja pažnje i hiperaktivitetaodraslih (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist). Veličina talamusa određivana je naaksijalnim nekontrasnim CT snimcima na površini najvećeg poprečnog presjeka primjenom AutoCAD 2007digitalne morfometrije. Statistički podaci su obrađivani u SPSS 16.0 programskom paketu. Statistički zaključciizneseni su na osnovu dvosmjernog p < 0.05. Rezultati: Uočili smo negativnu korelaciju površine najvećegpoprečnog presjeka talamusa lijevo i intenziteta poremećaja pažnje (regresioni koeficijent B = -0.042, p =0.009). Negativna korelacija površine najvećeg poprečnog presjeka talamusa i intenziteta poremećaja pažnjeuočena je i na desnoj hemisferi mozga (regresioni koeficijent B = -0.027, p = 0.012). Ispitivanjem povezanostiobima presjeka talamusa i intenziteta poremećaja pažnje, nije uočena statistički značajna korelacija obostrano(p > 0.05). Zaključak: Rezultati našeg istraživanja ukazuju da je veći intenzitet poremećaja pažnje bio udružensa manjim presjekom talamusa. Nalazi u literaturi koji negiraju takvu povezanost obavezuju nas na istraživanjesuptilnijih mehanizama regulacije psihičke funkcije pažnje od strane talamusa i drugih regiona mozga.

Abstract. The Pediatric Symptom Checklist-Youth self-report (PSC-Y) is a 35-item measure of adolescent psychosocial functioning that uses the same items as the original parent report version of the PSC. Since a briefer (17-item) version of the parent PSC has been validated, this paper explored whether a subset of items could be used to create a brief form of the PSC-Y. Data were collected on more than 19,000 youth who completed the PSC-Y online as a self-screen offered by Mental Health America. Exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) were first conducted to identify and evaluate candidate solutions and their factor structures. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were then conducted to determine how well the data fit the candidate models. Tests of measurement invariance across gender were conducted on the selected solution. The EFAs and CFAs suggested that a three-factor short form with 17 items is a viable and most parsimonious solution and met criteria for scalar invariance across gender. Since the 17 items used on the parent PSC short form were close to the best fit found for any subsets of items on the PSC-Y, the same items used on the parent PSC-17 are recommended for the PSC-Y short form.

Previous studies have indicated a consistent profile of basic personality traits correlated with adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (e.g., Ranseen, Campbell, &amp; Baer, 1998; Nigg et al., 2002). In particular, research has found that low scores of the Conscientiousness trait and high scores on Neuroticism have been correlated with ADHD symptomatology. However, to date there is limited information concerning the range of effect resulting from medication treatment for adult ADHD. During an 18 month period, 60 adults were diagnosed with ADHD based on strict, DSM-IV criteria at an outpatient clinic. This evaluation included a battery of neuropsychological tests and a measure of general personality (i.e., the NEO PI-R). Eleven of these participants returned to complete the battery a second time. The pre-post comparisons revealed significant changes following sustained stimulant treatment on both the neuropsychological and self-report measures. These individuals also displayed significant changes on two domains of the NEO PI-R. They showed a significant decrease on the domain of Neuroticism, indicating that now see themselves as less prone to experience negative emotional states such as anxiety and depression. Additionally, they also reported a significant increase on their scores on the domain of conscientiousness. This increase suggests that they see themselves as more organized and dependable.
