Abstract
Abstract Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurological disorders in elementary school children. This study was conducted to compare he academic motivation and academic self-concept of students with and without ADHD. Methods: The research population consisted of all male students aged 9 to 12 studying in the first semester of the school year 2023- 2024 in Borujerd, Iran. The participants were 60 students who were selected via G*Power software using cluster sampling. The selected students were then divided into two groups with and without ADHD (each with 30 members). Data were collected using the revised Conners’ Parent Rating Scale (CPRS-R), Harter’s Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), and Chen’s Academic Self-Concept Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) via SPSS-22 software. Results: The findings indicated no statistically significant difference between the two groups of students in terms of academic motivation and academic self-concept. Accordingly, the academic and general motivation of the students with ADHD was slightly different from that of the students without ADHD. Moreover, the internal and external academic self-concepts of the students with ADHD were slightly different from those of the students without ADHD. Moreover, the internal and external academic self- concepts of the students with ADHD were slightly different from those of the students without ADHD. Conclusion: Factors such as parenting styles and an effective educational environment may have improved academic motivation and self-concept in students with ADHD in this study.
