Measuring ADHD Masking and Evaluating its Effects Through the Lens of Emotional Control

The general purpose of this research is to learn more about the effects of masking within individuals with ADHD and how it relates to emotional control. “Masking” is the conscious/subconcious change of certain behaviors or the adoption of new behaviors aimed to "camouflage" one’s neurodivergence. And emotional control is the tendency to inhibit the expression of emotions. Participants in this study will be asked to complete 2 questionnaires, one that measures masking and another that measures emotional inhibition. It is expected that women will score higher on the masking questionnaire than men and that there will be a correlation between higher masking scores and higher inhibition scores.
