Assessment of Potential Factors Influencing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Drug Adherence: A Database Study
First-line treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is pharmacological but is associated with poor success rates in adults. The potential to discontinuously use stimulants may confound adherence assessment. Approximately 30-50% of adults with ADHD will experience depressive episodes, and associated treatment with antidepressants is generally recommended. It can therefore be expected that patients with a formal F90 diagnosis w…
Blaming the victim, preserving the icon: The Gendered Moral Work of Celebrity Sexual Abuse Scandals
This article takes as a case study the sexual abuse scandal surrounding British actor and “national treasure” William Roache, who went on trial for historical child sexual abuse in 2014. Based on a thematic newspaper analysis of the case, this article traces changing constructions of blame in the media to reveal how notions of guilt and innocence are both fluid and gendered. Throughout the course of the scandal, credibility and blame are reversed…
Sexual harassment in the creative and hospitality industries: A comparative media analysis to understand the mobilising power of #MeToo
This article investigates British newspaper coverage of workplace sexual harassment in the creative and hospitality industries during 2024 to assess the mobilising power and limitations of #MeToo across sectors. Despite high prevalence rates of harassment reported in national surveys, the hospitality industry receives negligible media attention. In contrast, coverage of the creative industries is extensive, yet overwhelmingly dominated by celebri…
Mental flexibility (set-shifting) deficits in children with ADHD: A replication and extension study
The study investigated set-shifting impairment differences in children by Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) subtype compared to neurotypical peers. The sample consisted of 156 primary school children from the Limpopo Province of South Africa (ADHD = 78, neurotypical = 78). The children were assessed on the computerised Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, which provides set-shifting error scores as follows: total errors, perseverating respons…
Delay aversion in school-aged children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
This study considered whether children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder displayed a stronger preference for smaller, more immediate rewards over larger, but delayed rewards (delay aversion) when compared to typically developing controls and, furthermore, whether age and gender influenced their preference in any way. Children, between 6 and 15 years of age, living in Limpopo province of South Africa, participated in the study. Two hun…
Delay aversion and immediate choice in Sepedi-speaking primary school children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Motivational factors play a significant role in the pathology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and are associated with altered reinforcement sensitivity. Delay aversion as a motivational style is characterised by a negative emotional reaction to the burden of delay. Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder have a stronger need to seek smaller immediate rewards rather than larger delayed rewards. This study ascertains whet…
Gender and hand dominance on fine motor skills among Grade 1–7 learners with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder encounter difficulties in many activities in their daily lives that require motor coordination skills. The aim of this study was to establish whether children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder have deficits in fine motor skills. Eighty male and female learners diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder matched with 80 non-attention-deficit/hyperactivity diso…
Behaviour planning and inhibitory control in Sepedi-speaking primary school children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common disorders that can occur in children. The symptoms are thought to result from a deficit in executive functions. This study investigated whether children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder subtypes differed in behavioural planning and response inhibition, two of the domains of executive functioning, from a control group without attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder sy…
Comorbidity of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and major depression in primary school children
The study investigated comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and depression in a sample of rural primary school children in Limpopo Province, South Africa. A total of 320 learners participated in this study of whom 160 learners had teacher and parent identified ADHD symptoms (females = 50%; age range 6–14 years). All the learners took the Beck Depression Youth Inventory, second edition. Data were analysed applying ANOVA to inve…
Too Drunk To Say No”: Binge drinking, rape and the Daily Mail
In recent years, both the media and the government in the UK have been increasingly preoccupied with the problem of rape involving alcohol. For example, in order to increase low conviction rates, the government proposed, yet eventually rejected, reforms equating drunkenness with incapacity to consent to sexual intercourse. Research evidence, for example studies by Benedict (1992) or Finch and Munro (2005, 2007), suggests that conviction rates are…
The Moral Rhetoric of Childhood
In the UK, the discourse of innocence currently prevails as a major way of understanding children. This article argues that the strength of this discourse lies in its prevalence, its resistance to challenges and the ways in which it connects ideas of innocence and vulnerability. The moral quality of the discourse of innocence works in conjunction with the sacred status of the child, to produce childhood as a moral rhetoric. Children and childhood…
Cross-cultural Similarities in ADHD-Like Behaviour Amongst South African Primary School Children
This study investigates whether the Disruptive Behaviour Disorders (DBDs) rating scale measures the same constructs in South African as in Western cultures, and explores the differences in scale scores as a function of language, gender and age. Teacher ratings between 1997 and 1999 of the 18 DSM-IV symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in 6 094 primary school children of six language groups in the Limpopo Province of South A…
