For children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), their emotional maturity level may be well below that of their non-ADD counterparts.
Emotional maturity was measured by Emotional maturity scale (EMS) and adjustment was measured by adjustment Inventory for school students (AISS).
Significant differences were detected between the ADHD group and control group on all the dimensions of Emotional maturity except emotional Regression on all the dimensions
Emotional maturity in individuals continues to develop until around the age of 35. This process can be slower in people with ADHD, and they may not reach the level of emotional maturity of a 21 year old until they are in their late 20s or early 30s. For children with ADHD, their emotional maturity level may be well below that of their non- ADD counterparts.
Criteria for the mature behavior are the following:
i. Inhibition of direct expression of negative emotion
ii. Cultivation of positive emotions
iii. Development of higher tolerances for disagreeing circumstances
iv. Increasing satisfaction from socially approved responses
v. Increasing dependence of actions
vi. Ability to make a choice and not brood about other choices
vii. Freedom from unreasonable fear
viii. Understanding and acting in accordance with limitations
ix. Awareness of the ability and achievement of others
x. Ability to err without disgraced
xi. Ability to carry victory and prestige with grace
xii. Ability to bounce from disappointing experiences
xiii. Ability to delay gratification of impulses
xiv. The enjoyment of daily living
