While temperament in children with ADHD is described as high in negative reactivity, low task persistence, high activity, low attentional focusing, high impulsivity and low inhibitory control. This study aims to analyze the correlation between children’s temperament and risk factor of ADHD.

The majority of participants were in the sixth grade (28.6%). There was a positive and weak correlation between surgency and ADHD symptoms (3,05 ± 0,75, p=0,045; r=0,44).
Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the negative affect and effortful control dimensions of temperament with severity of ADHD, however this study found a positive and weak correlation between surgency and risk factor of ADHD.
