The interaction of ADHD traits and trait anxiety on inhibitory control.

ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety frequently occur together; however, the cognitive outcomes of comorbid anxiety and ADHD are not straightforward. A potential explanation for conflicting results in the literature may be that different core ADHD symptoms show different interactions with anxiety depending on the task-processing demands. To address this question, we investigated whether different ADHD traits are related to different inhibitory outcomes, contingent upon the level of trait anxiety. The sample consists of 60 non-clinical university students ( X ¯ _age = 20.5, 53% male). Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale and State Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to measure ADHD traits and anxiety, respectively. The participants completed a visual Go/NoGo
