目的：很少有研究考察认知节奏迟缓(SCT)、警觉不一致、反应迟缓的不同维度与注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD-IN)的外部相关性是否不同。方法：受试者为131名被诊断为ADHD的西班牙儿童(6-16岁，其中72%为男孩)。结果：在回归分析中，ADHD-IN与多动/冲动、品行问题、挑衅/攻击、焦虑、同伴关系问题和学习问题呈正相关。SCT不一致的警觉性与多动/冲动和同伴关系问题呈正相关。相比之下，SCT-Slow与多动/冲动和品行问题呈负相关，与抑郁和学习问题呈正相关。在控制了抑郁、用药状况和性别后，结果是一致的。结论：SCT是一个具有两个维度的结构，相互之间具有独特的相关性，与ADHD-IN也是如此。未来关于SCT的研究应该将SCT的这些维度分开，以便更好地理解SCT的结构。
Objective: Few studies have examined whether separate dimensions of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT)inconsistent alertness and slownesshave different external correlates from each other as well as symptoms of ADHD inattention (ADHD-IN). Method: Participants were 131 Spanish children (ages 6-16; 72% boys) diagnosed with ADHD. Results: In regression analyses, ADHD-IN was positively associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity, conduct problems, defiance/aggression, anxiety, peer relations problems, and learning problems. SCT-inconsistent alertness was positively associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity and peer relations problems. In contrast, SCT-slowness was negatively associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity and conduct problems and positively associated with depression and learning problems. Results were consistent after controlling for depression, medication status, and sex. Conclusion: The findings support SCT to be a construct with two dimensions that have unique correlates relative to each other as well as ADHD-IN. Future research on SCT should separate these dimensions of SCT to provide a better understanding of the construct.
