dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to examine perceived parenting practices, parenting stress, and parental beliefs in families with and without a child diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study provides a systemic focus by also investigating demographic characteristics and considering both parents’ and children’s perceptions of parenting behaviours. Twenty-five parents of children (7 to 16 years) diagnosed with ADHD and 19 parents of children with no diagnosis participated. Children from 27 parent-child dyads also participated. Parents of children diagnosed with ADHD reported significantly higher levels of parenting stress and a more external parental locus of control. Parents and children in the comparison group showed greater concordance in perceived parenting behaviours, but the parenting practices of the two groups did not differ. Significant associations were detected between demographics and parenting factors in both groups, yet none overlapped. Results are discussed in terms of the implications for treatments designed to support children with ADHD.en_US

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
