Özet
Objective: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequent psychiatric disorders of childhood. Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) frequently shows comorbidity with ADHD. The aim of this study to investigate the relationship between ADHD related symptoms (attention deficiency, hyperactivity, oppositional behaviors etc.) and parental temperament and character traits. Method: This study consisted of two groups of children that with ADHD only (n=27) and ODD with ADHD (n=22), and their parents. Correlations between ADHD symptoms and behavioral problems of children with parent temperament and character traits investigated by parent reported scales. Findings: We found that ADHD/ODD group had externalizing behavioral problems higher than ADHD only group, and these relations between child ADHD symptoms and parents' temperament-character traits were showed. Mothers of ODD with ADHD group had higher harm avoidance scores than ADHD only group. There were significant correlations between mothers' self-transcendence scores and children's internalizing behavioral problems. Discussions and Conclusions: We suggest that parents' temperament and character traits may have effects development of ADHD and ODD comorbidity, particularly with mothers' harm avoidance scores. Also parent temperamental traits have possible effects on reporting styles in children's behavior rating scales, thus it is important for clinical practices.
