  • Professor and Peer Perceptions of Requests for Academic Accommodations in College

    Open AccessElizabeth K Lefler, Helena F Alacha et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2023

    University students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder (SLD) have higher rates of academic difficulty than their unaffected peers. Thus, some academic accommodations may be useful to them. However, research suggests that college students are hesitant to use their approved academic accommodations for fear of negative perceptions. The aim of the current study was to examine the perceptions of profess…

  • Sex, Gender, and Sexual Orientation in Psychological Research

    Open AccessElizabeth K Lefler, J Tabler et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2023

    Psychology researchers have historically neglected variables related to sex, gender, and sexual orientation, leading to the erasure of sex, gender, and sexual orientation in research, which limits the generalizability of psychological findings. We argue that these important variables need to be considered more consistently by researchers across psychology subdisciplines. In Study 1 we found that 15.1% of a large MTurk sample (i.e., 8500+) identif…

  • College Readiness

    Open AccessWill H Canu, Anne E Stevens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Learning Disabilities2021

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors. Impairment in individuals diagnosed with ADHD is significant; one such domain of impairment is achieving a college education. College students with ADHD tend to have lower grade point averages, take longer to graduate, and have higher dropout rates than individuals without ADHD. Those with ADHD may be inadequately prepared for co…

  • Sex and gender in psychopathology

    Cynthia M Hartung, Elizabeth K LeflerARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2019Cited by: 3

    Sex and gender differences in psychopathology have been understudied, yet identifying and understanding variability by sex and gender is important for the development of comprehensive etiological models as well as effective assessment and treatment of psychopathology in all persons. In the current article, we discuss the importance of sex and gender in psychopathology research, review terminology used when examining these constructs, and present …

  • ADHD Symptoms in American Indian/Alaska Native Boys and Girls

    Open AccessElizabeth K Lefler, Lefler et al.ARTICLEAmerican Indian and Alaska Native…2015

    Despite the commonality of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the diagnostic criteria are based largely on research with European American boys. Much less research is available regarding the prevalence of ADHD in other groups, specifically American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) children. Moreover, research on sex differences in ADHD has typically not included AI/AN children. The current study examined parent- and teacher-reported ADH…

  • Preliminary Examination of a Cartoon‐Based Hostile Attributional Bias Measure for Urban African American Boys

    Open AccessStephen S Leff, Elizabeth K Lefler et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2012Cited by: 2References: 54

    The current study illustrates how researchers developed and validated a cartoon‐based adaptation of a written hostile attributional bias measure for a sample of urban, low‐income, African American boys. A series of studies were conducted to develop cartoon illustrations to accompany a standard written hostile attributional bias vignette measure (Study 1), to determine initial psychometric properties (Study 2) and acceptability (Study 3), and to c…

  • Promoting Family and School Success for Children With ADHD

    Jennifer A Mautone, Elizabeth K Lefler et al.ARTICLETheory Into Practice2011Cited by: 2References: 13

    Children with ADHD typically experience significant impairment at home and school, and their relationships with parents, teachers, and peers often are strained. Psychosocial interventions for ADHD generally focus on behavior change in one environment at a time (i.e., either home or school); however, unisystemic interventions generally are not sufficient. The purpose of this article is to describe a family-school intervention for children with ADH…
