Abstract
Introduction: University students with ADHD symptoms show a disadvantage in academic achievement. High levels of ADHD are associated with less use of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) strategies. Higher achieving students, who apply these SRL strategies, display higher levels of Self-Compassion (SC). Showing SC might serve as a protective factor for students with ADHD symptoms. Method: Data from N=168 participants, who completed the self-report questionnaires MSLQ, SCS, and CAARS-S:L was used to perform regression analyses. In addition, Hayes’ (2013) PROCESS Macro for SPSS was used to assess mediation or moderation of SC. Results: ADHD symptoms are negatively related to use of SRL strategies as well as to SC. No significant relation was found between SC and SRL. These results are in line with the available literature. In addition, neither the mediation, nor the moderation analysis yielded significant results. Discussion: As a whole, SC does not significantly change the relation between ADHD symptoms and SRL in our sample. Further research is recommended in which specific components of the variables are investigated, such as the Inattention symptoms of ADHD and the uncompassionate self-responses component of SC.
