To what extent does emotional dysregulation account for aggression associated with ADHD symptoms? An experience sampling study

Aja Murray et al. Psychiatry Res. 2021 Sep.

Abstract

Previous research suggests that aggression is associated with ADHD symptoms and this may partly reflect problems with emotional regulation. Using data from the D2M study (n=260) we found that ADHD symptoms were associated with both emotional lability and aggression, but emotional lability did not mediate the ADHD-aggression association. Results suggest that other factors may be more important for explaining elevated levels of aggression in ADHD.
