Beliefs concerning the components of romantic love and its types among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyse beliefs concerning the components of romantic love, its types and its relation with ADHD symptoms in the group of young adults with ADHD. The research involved 86 individuals aged 20 to 28 years (M = 23.14; SD = 2.06). Young adults with ADHD, compared to the control group, are significantly less satisfied with their romantic relationships in terms of commitment, and more satisfied in terms of intimacy; the level of passion does not differ between the groups. Hyperactivity/impulsivity can be indicated as a predictor of commitment to a relationship. Adults with ADHD express the romantic type of love.
