Parent and ADHD Child Attributions and Disruptive Child Behaviour Study
(funded by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council)
We are inviting mothers with 8-11 year old sons who have ADHD to participate in a study looking at how parents’ and children’s thoughts about each other are related to how they get along. In particular, we are interested in the links between mothers’, fathers’ and children’s explanations for each other’s behavior and how these explanations are related to parenting and child problems. We will be comparing these effects between parents whose sons have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and parents whose sons do not have difficulties with their behavior. Mothers and their sons will come to UBC for about 2 _ hours and take part in activities, such as doing tasks together, playing together, answering questions about each others’ behaviours and completing questionnaires. We also invite fathers to participate by completing questionnaires at home. These questionnaires take approximately one hour to complete. Mothers will receive $35 for their participation, sons will get a UBC t-shirt and small prizes, and fathers will be mailed $15 when we receive their completed questionnaires.
