ADHD Linked to Increased Political Engagement, Study Reveals
Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost
Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to participate in politics, according to a study conducted in Israel. The research found that individuals with ADHD symptoms exhibited higher levels of overall political participation, both in traditional forms and through digital means. However, they were more likely to be passive consumers of news and displayed less tolerance towards differing opinions. The study highlights the unique pattern of political activity among individuals with ADHD but acknowledges the limitations of being conducted in a specific political situation and relying on self-reports.
