Resumo(s)
A PHDA é concebida como uma das perturbações com mais impacto no que diz respeito ao funcionamento social, associando-se frequentemente a dificuldades ao nível da regulação emocional. Neste sentido, o presente estudo procurou compreender a relação entre a sintomatologia de PHDA e a pró-socialidade, explorando o possível papel mediador da desregulação emocional nesta associação. Participaram nesta investigação um total de 104 adultos com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 43 anos de idade, recrutados por conveniência em contexto não clínico. Foram utilizadas medidas de autorrelato para desatenção/ hiperatividade-impulsividade (ASRS-v1.1), desregulação emocional (DERS-SF) e pró-socialidade (SRA) e aplicada uma tarefa experimental para avaliação do comportamento compensatório (Cyberball Pró-social).
Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram uma associação positiva entre desatenção e pró-socialidade no Cyberball. A hiperatividade/impulsividade exibiu um efeito direto negativo sobre a pró-socialidade no modelo de mediação. A desregulação emocional correlacionou-se positivamente com ambas as dimensões sintomatológicas da PHDA, mas não mediou a relação entre sintomas e comportamento pró-social. A medida de autorrelato para a pró-socialidade não evidenciou associações significativas com os sintomas de PHDA.
Em adultos sem diagnóstico, os resultados sugerem que a desatenção pode associar-se a respostas pró-sociais compensatórias ao passo que a impulsividade surge como potencial fator de risco da pró-socialidade. A desregulação emocional, embora ligada à sintomatologia de PHDA, não explica diretamente o comportamento pró-social. Este estudo abre caminho para novas linhas de investigação devido ao aparecimento de associações inesperadas que desafiam algumas conceções teóricas tradicionalmente aceites.
ADHD is considered one of the disorders with the greatest impact on social functioning and is frequently associated with difficulties in emotion regulation. In this context, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between ADHD symptomatology and prosociality, exploring the potential mediating role of emotion dysregulation in this association. The study included 104 adults aged between 18 and 43 years, recruited by convenience from a non-clinical population. Self-report measures were used to assess inattention/hyperactivity-impulsivity (ASRS-v1.1), emotion dysregulation (DERS-SF), and prosociality (SRA), along with an experimental task to evaluate compensatory behavior (Prosocial Cyberball). The results revealed a positive association between inattention and prosociality in the Cyberball task. Hyperactivity/impulsivity showed a negative direct effect on prosociality in the mediation model. Emotion dysregulation was positively correlated with both ADHD symptom dimensions but did not mediate the relationship between symptoms and prosocial behavior. The self-report measure of prosociality showed no significant associations with ADHD symptoms. Among adults without a clinical diagnosis, the findings suggest that inattention may be associated with compensatory prosocial responses, whereas impulsivity appears as a potential risk factor for reduced prosociality. Although emotion dysregulation is closely linked to ADHD symptomatology, it does not directly explain prosocial behavior. This study opens avenues for future research, given the emergence of unexpected associations that challenge some traditionally accepted theoretical conceptions.
