I am a third year psychology student at the University of Sunderland and currently undertaking my dissertation study which is regarding adult ADHD and emotional intelligence. It would be hugely appreciated if members of this forum could take between 7-10mins to complete my survey.

I will take your survey but statements like this: "Do not think too long about the exact meaning of the statements. Work quickly and try to answer as accurately as possible." are not very sensitive to our having ADHD... our very nature is to over think things and not have control over it and panic when told to hurry up or be quick... might be worth removing that from your survey to reduce putting some people off!

Thank you for your feedback. I totally understand your point and will take that onboard. The wording you see on the questionnaire comes from the official Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire which is used and therefore is shown on the paper version of the questionnaire, so in keeping the study consistent I have also included it in my online version. However I agree with what you are saying and I will amend this now.

Hi, I know this is probably a bit off-topic, but did you consider the fact that ADHD is in most cases accompanied by other disorders, that includes depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ocd, and more. All of these are proven to be mood-affecting. Therefore, the very process of collecting data has a huge flaw in it. How can you tell who has his/her emotional intelligence affected by ADHD from those having it affected by the co-morbidities? Cheers, M.

Thank you for your feedback, yes I am taking all of that into consideration and will be including such research in my study. This study in an overview of the difference in EI, reasons for the difference will be discussed and hopefully this study will lead to further research into the specifics. Please bare in mind that this is a third year psychology dissertation and not the study of a well established psychologist. I take all your feedback onboard however and appreciate you taking the time to take part.
Thanks,
Ruth.

Not sure. You'd have to control for ASD co-morbidities.
I reckon it's a complicated story. Don't you find that, in general, ADHDers can be quite emotionally 'active', although not necessarily accurate in their empathy? I mean, they wouldn't necessarily just assume the obvious when considering other people's emotional state, perhaps noticing subtleties of behaviour that introduce new possibilities of interpretation - if their attention has been engaged. If they're not engaged, they can be as socially oblivious as an ASD person. And even when engaged, they can also often jump to some conclusion or other on the basis of scant clues and can get their assessment pretty wrong.
Their volatile temper can make them seem like they don't care about others' feelings, but they are often acutely aware of the impacts of their behaviours and get anxious about that.
Similarly, while they can be quite forgiving of the failures of others, at the same time they can set their 'morality bar' quite high and come across as judgmental, even though they may set it highest for themselves (and in any case, not necessarily by reference to established social norms). Fairness and social justice are usually very important to us, as is personal accountability.

I don't think this person came on here to discuss their research with us. they just want us to fill out the survey so they can complete their project and move on with their course of research.
sorry to kill the mood...

Agreed kameel, although: Intersting point shiny. For example, I'm very astute when it comes to picking up on body language / responses from others. However, this is a mixed blessing. On the one hand I always. instantly know when I've upset / bored / annoyed etc someone, but this doesn't necessarily stop me from doing it again. Where would EQ fit into that equation? As surely EQ is both a response and a foresight intelligence?

geeez, crazylostgirl, aggressive much?
When someone is doing research about Emotional Intelligence in correlation with ADHD it means that their testing an hypothesis. Their results may show that there may or may not be a correlation.
and speaking of EI itself: My inability to gauge social situations and react with what is viewed as a "proper" response has curiously never had an impact on my EI. In fact, I've always been especially empathic, even more so than my non-adhd counterparts.
I'm actually quite interested in the results of this research.

And now I'm giggling because I feel obliged to add that, of course you didn't actually make me; I am responsible for my own tears dear oh dear...

Heh heh. My work here is done...I made you cry!
Seriously? Welcome. We all cry a bit, when we're not laughing. Actually, sometimes when we are...you know what I mean.
