The Effect of Father's Parenting on Peer Relations of Boys with ADHD Symptoms : Mediating Role of Stigmatization

The aim of the present study was (a) to investigate the effect of perceived parents’ disapproval of peer relations and perceived parental monitoring on youth’s engagement in organized sports activities, (b) to examine whether youth’s engagement in delinquent behaviors mediates the link between parents’ behaviors and youth’s participation in and dropout from organized sports, and (c) to test whether the mediation process is moderated by youth’s immigrant background. Data were collected from immigrant and Swedish adolescents ( N = 687) in seventh grade over two consecutive years. Our main findings revealed that youth who disclose their whereabouts to parents and whose parents practice control are less likely to engage in delinquent behaviors, and, in turn, more likely to engage in organized sports. The findings were similar with respect to sports dropout. Most importantly, these results hold for both immigrant and Swedish youth.

Momentary Assessment

Objective: To explore the mediating role of emotional lability in the relationship between adult ADHD symptoms, and cannabis and alcohol consumption.Method: Emotional lability and concurrent cannabis and alcohol consumption were measured as part of the ecological momentary assessment study, ‘Decades to Minutes’; embedded within the longitudinal z-proso study. Adults (n = 289, aged 20) completed measures of concurrent alcohol and cannabis consumption, and emotional lability at four quasi-random time periods per day, over a 14-day period. ADHD symptoms were retrieved from the participants’ corresponding z-proso data. Results: Structural equation modelling revealed that ADHD symptoms, but not emotional lability, had a direct effect on concurrent cannabis use. Contrastingly, emotional lability, but not ADHD symptoms, had a direct effect on concurrent alcohol use. Conclusion: Results highlight the differing effects of emotional lability in the association between ADHD symptoms and different types of substance use. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
