大學生注意力缺失／過動症狀與創造力之間的關聯

目的：探討大學生注意力缺失／過動疾患（attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ADHD）症狀與創造力的關聯。方法：185位大學生為樣本，以中文版大學生注意力缺失／過動疾患反應評估（College ADHD Response Evaluation, CARE）量表測量ADHD症狀和ADHD共病情緒症狀，檢驗其與四種創造力面向（個人、環境、過程、產品）的相關。結果：如不考慮情緒症狀，CARE量表得分與創造力多無顯著相關。若考慮情緒症狀，兒時衝動／過動症狀愈高者，成年後創造性特質可能愈高，自評環境愈鼓勵創意發展；成年後衝動症狀愈高者，自評個人創造力特質可能愈高。情緒症狀與成年ADHD症狀相乘項，對創意發展個人特質具顯著獨立預測力。結論：探討大學生ADHD症狀與創造力之關聯時，應考慮情緒症狀的角色，呼應新近文獻倡議重視情緒失調症狀之觀點。

Objective: To explore correlation between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tendency and creativity 4P (person, press, process, and product) in college students under 2 conditions: with or without controlling tendency of comorbidities. Methods: College ADHD Response Evaluation (CARE) and creativity 4P tools were used to assess 185 college participants. Results: No positive correlation between ADHD syndromes and the Creativity 4P were found before controlling for emotional symptoms, common comorbidities of ADHD. However, after controlling for the emotional symptoms, the results showed that (1) the hyperactive/impulsive tendency in childhood and the Person/Press creativity indexes were positively correlated; and (2) the impulsive tendency at present positively correlated with the personal-trait creativity index. Results from multiple regression analyses revealed that the interaction between ADHD syndromes and the emotional syndromes can predict personal creativity level independently at a statistically significant level. Conclusion: When considering how ADHD symptoms and creativities correlate, emotional factors must be taken into account in order to further clarify the previously inconsistent findings.
