The present study examined the perceptions of male and female college students who have ADHD. In a 2x2 between-subjects design (male/female vignette), participants (n=281 students; n=101 professors) were randomly assigned to read one of two vignettes detailing either a male or a female student with symptoms consistent with ADHD. Findings indicated that male and female college students with ADHD were perceived similarly on nearly all measures. Professors had more positive perceptions and lower stigma of the student with ADHD compared with the undergraduate participants. Findings suggest that the gender of the target did not impact perceptions of college students with ADHD, but students exhibited more negative perceptions on several measures compared with professors. Future directions and implications are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
