Abstract/Summary

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a developmental disorder that usually affects children, and it is usually manifested in symptoms of aggression, hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. In this particular study, a child with ADHD and his symptoms of aggression, hyperactivity and impulsivity will be focused on and how these symptoms affect the social behavior and emotional response of his sibling that does not have ADHD. Moderating factors such as gender difference, age gap and birth order have been considered. Surveys were used in order to measure these variables. The Aggression Scale for aggression to be answered by the child with ADHD, the Childrens Attention and Adjustment Survey for hyperactivity to be answered by the parent/s, the Impulsivity Scale for impulsivity to be answered by the child with ADHD, the Child and Adolescents Disposition Scale to measure emotional response to be answered by the sibling without the disorder, and the Home and Community Social Behavior Scale for social behavior to be answered by the parent/s. Multiple Regression was used in order to see which amongst the three symptoms has the strongest relationship with the dependent variables, ANOVA done in order to see which moderating factor has the highest effect on the relationship. Data show that there is no significant relationship between the symptoms of ADHD and the social behavior and emotional response of the sibling.
