The main purposes of this study were to examine differences in emotion regulation and parental attachment between two subtypes of ADHD and to investigate whether paternal and maternal attachment mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and emotion regulation. A total of 66 children (in grades 1-6) were diagnosed with ADHD based on the K-ARS(Korean ADHD Rating Scale) and were included in the present study. Participants were classified into one of two ADHD subtypes based on their ADHD diagnosis (33 children in each group). Children’s emotional regulation and their attachment to their mothers and fathers were measured with the ERC(Emotion Regulation Checklist) and IPPA-R(Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment), respectively to test whether parental attachment significantly mediated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and emotion regulation. Results revealed that paternal attachment partially mediated the relationship between hyperactivity/impulsiveness and adaptive emotion regulation; maternal attachment also partially mediated the relationship between hyperactivity/impulsiveness and maladaptive emotion regulation. These results suggest that the effects of ADHD symptoms on emotion regulation are modulated and can be modified by the quality of parental attachment.
