Aspects of Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Cognitive Deficit in Executive Functions Related of ADHD Symptomatology in Children

In this paper, based on specific statistical methods (correlations, analysis of variance), we analyzed the relations between emotion regulation difficulties, cognitive functions deficit, and ADHD symptomatology. The results show a significant relationship between emotion regulation difficulties and the presence of AD/HD symptoms. The study reveals the possibility of using emotion regulation as an important indicator to be optimized in order to decrease the ADHD symptomatology and increasing executive functions in children. As an interesting result, one can notice that ADHD symptomatology is increasing with age, and thus with responsibilities involved by multiple tasks of daily life management in children.
