Abstract
The current study investigates the relationship between ADHD symptoms, self-compassion, and self-regulated learning strategies in university students. This is a relevant population to study because there is little research on university students with ADHD. The participants were 168 first year psychology students, aged 16 to 29 years. They completed the Connors’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS), the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). To investigate how these variables relate to each other the bivariate relations were analyzed, and two models were explored: a mediation and a moderation model. The findings suggest that ADHD symptoms relate to less self-compassion and to less use of self-regulated learning strategies. However, self-compassion was not related to self-regulated learning strategies when controlling for ADHD symptoms. Additionally, both models were also not found to be significant. In conclusion, more research is needed to understand ADHD symptoms in university students, especially with the use of subscales from the different measures.
