Abstract
Objective: The present study examined the relationship between the use of self-regulated learning strategies and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It further explored the potential role of self-compassion as a mediating or moderating factor within this relationship. Method: Participants were 168 college students, aged 16 to 29 (M = 19.68, SD = 1.96), from a Dutch university who completed the Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales self-report long version, a shortened, generalized version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and the long version of the Self-Compassion Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results: Among college students, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptomatology was significantly negatively associated with the use of self-regulated learning strategies (R² =.04, F (1, 166) = 7.41, p < .0072). Additionally, analyses revealed no significant role of self-compassion within this relationship. Conclusion: Findings from this study show that students who exhibit more characteristics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder tend to use less self-regulated learning strategies in the context of their academic education. Therefore, boosting self-regulated learning strategies might be a promising way to enhance academic performance in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which should further be investigated in future intervention studies. As self-compassion did not emerge as a moderator or mediator of this relationship alternative factors that may explain the relationship between symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and self-regulated learning strategies are discussed. Keywords: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, academic performance, self-regulated learning, self-compassion
