Nilsen 2017¶
Nilsen, E. S., & Bacso, S. A. (2017). Cognitive and Behavioural Predictors of Adolescents’ Communicative Perspective-taking and Social Relationships. Adolescence. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2017.01.004
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Bootstrapped mediation analysis (5000 samples) tested whether communicative perspective-taking accounted for the ADHD traits–social relations relation. The indirect effect was significant (β = -.16, SE = .12, 95% CI [-.53, -.004]), indicating "adolescents with elevated ADHD traits have difficulty with reading the communicative intentions of speakers, which is related to worse social outcomes."
"The indirect effect between ADHD traits and social outcome, through communicative perspective-taking was significant, ( β = -.16, SE = .12, 95% confidence interval from -.53 to -.004"
