The content and intensity of fear are influenced by many factors including temperament, past experiences, situational stimuli, physical and cognitive development. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Tic disorders are very common mental diseases in child psychiatric field. This study investigated the fear aspects in ADHD(n=45) and in Tic(n=20) disordered boys by using the fear survey schedule for children-revised C and employing the community sampled boys(n=356) as a control. Tic disordered boys scored significantly higher than ADHD boys on fears of small animals and horrible stimuli. ADHD boys scored significantly higher than community sampled boys on the fears of small animal and horrible stimuli, and on the fears of failure and criticism. Tic disordered boys scored significantly higher than community sampled boys on total fear score, fear of death and danger, fear of small animal and horrible stimuli, fear of leaving alone. Tic disordered boys did not demonstrate the age-appropriate decrease in fear found for boys of community sample. Nine of the top 10 fears reported by these ADHD and Tic disordered boys were identical to those reported by community sampled boys. From the above fear content analysis, it was suggested that mainly negative environmental stimuli influence the formation of ADHD boys’ fear and global developmental delay phenomenon in Tic disordered boys.
