Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between characteristics of adults with ADHD and worry, and how group performance on the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) differed based on the co-occurrence of worry. Wells’ model (1995) was used to categorize worry. The Korean version of Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, and Meta Cognitions Questionnaire were administered to 624 college students. Participants were divided into the following groups: ADHD tendency and worry; ADHD tendency; worry; meta-worry; and control. Analyses revealed significant correlations in all relationships except for some sub-indicators. The ADHD tendency and worry group had more statistically significant false alarms than other groups. There was no performance difference between the ADHD tendency group and the worry groups, or between the two worry groups. The results indicated that ADHD accompanied by worry may lead to greater response-inhibition deficits, and severe worry symptoms may lead to carelessness and impulsiveness not unlike ADHD symptoms.
