College students' consideration of moral dilemmas: a comparison of high and low ADHD symptom groups

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and college students' endorsed responses to ethical problem situations. The Defining Issues Test-2 and the Ethical Reasoning Inventory were utilized to assess the participants' consideration of the moral dilemmas. Results indicated no significant difference between the high ADHD symptom and low ADHD symptom groups on these measures. Possible explanations for the findings are presented.
