The present study investigated the relationship between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and emotion appraisal skills in children and their parents. Eighty children, 44 of whom had ADHD, and at least one of each of their parents participated in a study of appraisal skills for themselves and others as related to psychopathology. Results found support for previous research demonstrating that children with greater ADHD symptomatology are less adept at identifying emotion in both themselves and in others in different contexts. Contrary to the hypothesis, parental emotion appraisal skills were unrelated to greater ADHD symptoms in children. Overall, however, child and parent emotion appraisal skills were moderately related when psychopathology was not a factor.
