Adhd Hypothesis

What hypothesis is being tested? hypotheses: first, students who report LD or ADHD would be victimized more frequently compared with students who do not report LD/ADHD diagnoses; second, students with less secure attachment styles to parents would experience more victimization compared with students with better attachment to parents; third, students with insecure attachment style to teachers would experience more frequent victimization compared with students with more secure attachment to teachers and; finally, we will explore to what extent variance in victimization frequencies could be explained by self-reports of LD/ADHD diagnosis, and attachment styles to parents and teacher while controlling for students’ gender and grade level.

Most studies indicate that children with LD are at greater risk of being bullied. Studies on ADHD and bullying have found that children and adolescents with ADHD report higher levels of victimization by bullying than do unaffected children. There may be different …show more content…
But it also showed that these students who reported both LD/ADHD performed worse than those with only one disorder. Also, it showed that these kids who were more attached to their mothers had a lower risk to be victims of bullying, than those attached more to their fathers. In my opinion, this shows how kids have more confidence of letting their mothers know of bullying than they do of their fathers. Furthermore, results indicated that attachment patterns to teacher were not significantly associated with victimization group membership, when controlling for attachment to father and mother. This is probably because kids do not trust or do not feel support from teachers to prevent bullying, it could also be that students don’t view their teachers as a secure base to prevent victimization and therefore are
