- This study is the first in Indonesia to explore how ADHD symptoms relate to emotional dysregulation and family functioning in children aged 9-13, using validated questionnaires with primary caregivers in three schools in Surabaya.
- Results showed ADHD symptoms are positively linked to emotional lability and negativity, but not to overall emotion regulation, while family functioning is affected by these emotional issues, with parental education playing a role in better emotional regulation.
- The findings highlight the need for interventions focusing on managing ADHD and emotional dysregulation to improve family dynamics and children's well-being, paving the way for future research in this area.
