目的：很少有研究研究探讨了缓慢的认知克里思（SCT）在大学生中，即使现存的研究表明，SCT症状在这一人群中的患病率较高，与一般成人或青年样本。本研究探讨SCT症状与两个领域有关的大学生的学业成功，学习技能和日常生活执行功能（EF），以及特定领域的功能障碍。方法：158名本科生（M-年龄= 19.05岁; 64%女性）完成了精神病理学症状，学习技能，日常生活EF和功能障碍的措施。结果如下：在控制了人口统计学和注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）、焦虑和抑郁症状后，SCT仍然与学习技能较差、日常生活EF缺陷较大和整体损害显著相关，并且在教育活动、工作、金钱/财务、管理家务和家务、社群活动、和陌生人朋友的社交场合。在许多情况下，ADHD注意力不集中的症状不再与SCT症状添加到模型中后的学习技能或障碍显着相关。结论：SCT与大学生功能低下有关。研究结果强调，在研究SCT和调整之间的关系时，需要增加特异性。(C)2016 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Objectives: Few studies have examined sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) in college students even though extant research suggests a higher prevalence rate of SCT symptoms in this population compared to general adult or youth samples. The current study examined SCT symptoms in relation to two domains related to college student's academic success, study skills and daily life executive functioning (EF), as well as specific domains of functional impairment. Method: 158 undergraduate students (M-age = 19.05 years; 64% female) completed measures of psychopathology symptoms, study skills, daily life EF, and functional impairment. Results: After controlling for demographics and symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression, SCT remained significantly associated with poorer study skills, greater daily life EF deficits, and global impairment and with greater functional impairment in the specific domains of educational activities, work, money/finances, managing chores and household tasks, community activities, and social situations with strangers and friends. In many instances, ADHD inattentive symptoms were no longer significantly associated with study skills or impairment after SCT symptoms were added to the model. Conclusion: SCT is associated with poorer college student functioning. Findings highlight the need for increased specificity in studies examining the relation between SCT and adjustment.
