dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to determine whether there is a significant relationship between ADHD symptoms and impulsive spending habits between men and women. The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale was used to evaluate participants’ ADHD symptoms and the Buying Impulsiveness Scale was used to evaluate spending impulsivity. Participants were also asked demographic questions, including whether they are currently diagnosed with and/or medicated for ADHD. The results showed that participants with self-reported ADHD diagnoses showed significantly higher spending impulsivity than those without self-reported ADHD. However, participants who scored higher on the ASRS showed higher, but not significantly higher, scores on the BIS. There were no significant gender differences detected in this sample. Future research should leave data collection open for a longer time frame to collect more responses and should advertise to more diverse populations.
