Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that affects 8-12% of children worldwide
In ADHD; the inability to inhibit responses is associated with increased emotional reactivity, lower frustration tolerance, decreased empathy and a diminished ability to self regulate emotions thus it has been hypothesized that emotional intelligence is affected in ADHD
Emotional intelligence is a term used to describe the ability of an individual to recognize their own and other people’s emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior
In light of this evidence, the research team was motivated to investigate the TEI in a sample of Egyptian children with ADHD compared to group of age, sex, IQ and socio-demographically matched normal children. In addition to study the correlation between symptoms profile, subtypes of ADHD and components of TEI.
from the findings of the present study, we can conclude that trait emotional intelligence is greatly affected in children diagnosed with ADHD and that emotional deficits are corner stone features of that disorder.
Comparing the three subtypes of ADHD regarding trait emotional intelligence yielded that the emotional perception deficit was more with symptoms of inattention , while emotion regulation deficits was more with hyperactivity.
It was also concluded that low impulsivity facet of trait emotional intelligence is a very important skill which was less in ADHD children and that may affects peer relations, social problems symptoms and behavior regulation.
So overall there was significant association between ADHD as measured by Conner and TEI facets. Thus increase severity of ADHD symptoms associated with lower score on the global score of TEI and lower score on the most of the subscales
