To examine associations between impulsivity and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) symptoms in a clinical sample of male adolescents aged 12-18 with ADHD.
Key Findings:
Higher overall impulsivity was associated with greater overall IGD symptom severity, with exploratory analyses suggesting specific impulsivity facets may relate differently to IGD symptom domains.
Interpretation:
The study provides preliminary evidence that impulsivity traits are linked to IGD symptoms in adolescents with ADHD, highlighting the need for further research on how specific impulsivity facets relate to different IGD symptoms.
Limitations:
Small sample size may limit generalizability.
Exclusion of adolescents with significant psychiatric comorbidities may affect findings.
Potential biases in self-reported measures could influence results.
Conclusion:
The findings support the association between impulsivity and IGD symptoms in adolescents with ADHD, warranting further investigation into the relationship between specific impulsivity facets and IGD symptom domains.
