PSY326: Research Methods Professor
I have chosen adult ADHD as my research topic for the remainder of this course. I chose
this topic because I want to find out more information about the symptoms, available treatments,
effects, and diagnosis methods of ADHD in adults. Adult ADHD fits within the following
research areas of psychology, biopsychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology,
and clinical psychology. I have decided to focus my research on the clinical psychology aspect of
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults.
To begin my research, I first utilized the American Psychology Association’s Dictionary
of Psychology to learn more about how ADHD was being described. I am going to start by
explaining what I found about ADHD in the APA dictionary. ADHD is the abbreviation for
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In reading the description, it is described as “a behavioral
syndrome characterized by the persistent presence of six or more symptoms, involving (a)
inattention (e.g., failure to complete tasks or listen carefully, difficulty in concentrating,
distractibility) or (b) impulsivity or hyperactivity (e.g., blurting out answers; impatience;
restlessness; fidgeting; difficulty in organizing work, taking turns, or staying seated; excessive
talking; running about; climbing on things). The symptoms, which impair social, academic, or
occupational functioning start to appear before the age of 7 and can be observed in more than
one setting” (2020).
While digging deeper into this topic, I started exploring peer-reviewed and scholarly
journal articles. I used the keywords ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, adults,
, symptoms, and treatments in my searches. Although I could find several articles that could be
beneficial in my research, I had to narrow it down to three for this assignment. I attempted to
find more specific information about my topic of adult ADHD. My search has led me to the first
article I have chosen to use for this research assignment. I have decided to use the article
“Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD in the United States: Update by Gender and
The second article that I have chosen to utilize is, “The experiences of receiving a
diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder during adulthood in Japan: a qualitative
