dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine whether child behaviour characteristics and parental attachment are predictive of quality of friendships in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Participants were 30 children aged 8 through 12 with ADHD from local schools in Victoria and one primary care-giver for each child. Based on multiple regressional analyzes were three predictors. Anger/Alienation. Trust. and Social Problems explained unique variation in children's quality of friendship. Results provide support that the more children characterized their attachment to primary caregivers by Anger/Alienation, the lower they rated their quality of friendship with peers. In addition, the more children characterized their attachment to primary caregivers by Trust. the higher they reported their quality of friendship with peers to be. Finally, the more social problems parents reported their children experiencing the lower the children reported their friendship quality to be.en
