目标：这项研究调查了与成年后ADHD诊断相关的社会耻辱，以及大五人格特质是否可以预测受影响个体的评价。方法：257名大学生的样本率的可取性目标多动症，轻微的医疗问题，并没有明显的弱点，在几个社会参与的背景。结果：参与者表现出与ADHD患者接触的意愿显着降低（与两种对照组相比）。被发现的可接受性，外倾性，和尽责性预测评估的目标和没有多动症，调节目标和旁观者的性别。结论：这表明，对ADHD的相当微妙的负面偏见有助于拒绝患有这种疾病的人，特别是在学术和工作环境中。研究结果还表明，同龄人的性格确实对患有多动症的目标的评估有一定影响（J. of Att. 2008; 11（6）700-710）。
Objective: This study investigates social stigma associated with a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood and whether Big Five personality traits predict appraisals of affected individuals. Method: A sample of 257 undergraduates rate the desirability of targets with ADHD, minor medical problems, and with no appreciable weakness, across several social engagement contexts. Results: Participants exhibit significantly less desire to engage with those with ADHD (as compared to both controls). Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness are found to predict appraisals of targets with and without ADHD, moderated by sex of the target and the beholder. Conclusion: It is suggested that fairly subtle, negative bias toward ADHD contributes to rejection of individuals with the disorder, particularly in academic and work settings. Findings also suggest peers' personalities do have some effect on appraisals of targets with ADHD (J. of Att. Dis. 2008; 11(6) 700-710).
