Abstract

The presence of a child with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder-ADHD- in a family can affect the performance of family. The aim of this study is to compare perception of equity, perceived social support and forgiveness in mothers of children with ADHD and mothers of healthy children.
 
A sample of 100 people (50 for the group with ADHD was selected by purposive sampling and 50 healthy group by multi-stage cluster sampling among mothers of children with ADHD and healthy ages 7-12 years old, 4th and 8th districts of Tehran, who were studying in the second half of the 97-98 academic year, were selected. Then, Perry Perception of equity measure, the Zimet social support questionnaire, and the Rye forgiveness questionnaire were used. The results showed that there is a significant difference between social support and forgiveness of mothers in the two groups (p<0.05), but none in the perception of equity. Due to the lower levels of forgiveness and perceived social support in mothers of children with ADHD than mothers of healthy Children, this could be due to the adverse effects of having a child with the disorder.
