Comparison of Brain-Behavioral Systems, Decision Making Styles and Cognitive Emotion Regulation in Adults with and without ADHD by Asiyeh Vakia, Reza Soltani Shal, Abbas Abolghasemi

“…However, a significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the rational, intuitive, dependent, impulsive, and avoidant components of cognitive decision-making.Additionally, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies were more prevalent in adults with ADHD compared to those without the condition; however, adaptive emotion regulation strategies were found to be equally utilized by both groups.Discussion and conclusion: The findings of this study provide evidence for the psychopathology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and highlight the role of cognitive variables in this disorder.These findings indicate that decision-making styles and cognitive emotion regulation are among the variables that influence adult ADHD. …”
