Abstract
Objective: This study examined the relative contributions of measures of attention problems and hyperactivity to the prediction of college grade point average (GPA). Method: A sample of 316 students enrolled in introductory psychology and sociology classes at a southeastern university completed the BASC-2 Self-Report of Personality College Form. Scores on the attention problems scale and the hyperactivity scale of the BASC-2 were entered into a regression equation as predictors of cumulative GPA. Results: Each of the independent variables made a significant contribution to the prediction of GPA. Attention problem scores alone explained 7% of the variability in GPAs. The addition of hyperactivity scores to the equation produced a 2% increase in explanatory power. Conclusion: The implications of these results for assessing symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity in college students are discussed. (J. of Att. Dis. 2007; 11(3) 368-373)
