The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships between mental disorder tendencies and executive function. Using student sample, factor analysis of Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) showed two factors (behavioral dysregulation andemotional-motivational dysregulation), and these factors correlated various mental disorder tendencies (e.g. depression). Experimental studies revealed that these mental disorder tendencies caused performance deficits, especially the difficulties of disengagement of attention and the difficulties of updating of working memory process, which requires executive function.
