Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD.

I'm your host William Kerb and I have ADHD.

On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your

ADHD brain.

And today I'm joined by Skywatersson for our research recap series.

In this series, we take a look at a single research paper, although today we're going

to be looking to and that's a little something different.

But what we do is we try to see how the papers were conducted, try to find any practical takeaways, and discuss what's going on in these papers.

So the two papers we're going to discuss today are boredom-proneness and its correlation with internet addiction and internet

activities and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

And our second paper then is boredom prowness and inattention in children with and without ADHD,

the mediating role of delay aversion.

So lots in there, lots to discuss, and we'll get all into that.

And as this is a new series, I do want to make sure that people know that I would love to hear what your thoughts about it. Feel free to go to hacking grade a hattachy.com slash contact and leave me a note about what you think about the series. I'd love to hear about this. And I've really appreciated all the feedback I've already gotten for the series. So I'd love to hear more and make sure that I'm doing this in ways that you guys really like. Now, new episodes of Research Recap will be coming out every other Friday. And with that, let's get into this. Yeah, let's do it. I'm really interested in this because what we're going to be looking at here is two papers.

One of them, the first one you said is from 2018.

And it's really, I would say, the precursor to the second paper where they go into a little bit more about why there's this correlation between boredom and ADHD and, you know, what we can, what we can glean

from it, not just what it looks like. But if we look at the first paper, the 2018 paper,

it is pretty much at its core a pretty straightforward paper. They did, you know, they had a look at adolescence age between

11 and 18 in Taiwan who had ADHD according to the DSM always love that and then they were looking

at their experiences of boredom and their experiences of internet activities and then weirdly they

looked at like parents marital status and a couple of internet activities. And then weirdly, they looked at like parents,

marital status and a couple of other pieces as well. Yeah. I mean, and they did find that those
