In this context, the aim of the study is to comparatively examine the social information processing and executive functioning behaviors of children with ADHD and TD children.Method: The study was conducted using a general survey model, which is one of the quantitative research designs. The participants of the study included 25 children diagnosed with ADHD, aged between 8 and 10, and 25 TD children of the same gender and age range. Additionally, 25 teachers and 50 parents participated in the study. The data collection tools used in the study were the Social Information Processing Assessment Form and the Parent and Teacher Form of the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF).Findings: The study findings showed significant differences between children with ADHD and TD children in all stages of the Social Information Processing Assessment Form. Similar significant differences were also found in all the sub-scales and sub-dimensions of the Parent and Teacher Form of the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions. The relationships between social information processing skills and executive functioning skills also revealed significant associations between some sub-stages of the Social Information Processing Skills Assessment Form and some sub-dimensions of the Parent and Teacher Form of the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions. Discussion: The findings indicate that children with ADHD experience limitations in each of the six steps of the Social Information Processing Model and in some sub-dimensions of executive functions when compared to their TD peers. The findings emphasize the significance of the relationships between social information processing and executive functioning in the development of social and academic skills in children with ADHD.

Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı DEHB olan çocuklarla TGG çocukların sosyal bilgi işleme süreçleri ve yönetici işlev davranışlarının karşılaştırılmalı incelenmesidir.Yöntem: Araştırma, nicel araştırma desenlerinden tarama modelinden, genel tarama modeli kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın katılımcıları, 8-10 yaş aralığında, 25 DEHB tanısı almış çocuk ile yine aynı cinsiyette ve yaş aralığında TGG 25 çocuk olmak üzere 50 çocuktur. Araştırmaya 25 öğretmen ve 50 ebeveyn dahil olmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Sosyal Bilgi İşleme Süreci Değerlendirme Formu ve Yönetici İşlev Davranışlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nin anne-baba ve öğretmen formları kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırma bulguları DEHB olan çocuklarla TGG çocuklar arasında Sosyal Bilgi İşleme Süreci Değerlendirme Formu’nun tüm basamaklarında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgularla benzer biçimde Yönetici İşlev Davranışları Derecelendirme Ölçeği Ebeveyn ve Öğretmen Formu’nun tüm alt ölçeklerinde ve alt boyutlarında da anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Sosyal bilgi işleme süreci ve yönetici işlev davranışları arasındaki ilişkiler incelendiğinde ise Sosyal Bilgi İşleme Becerisi Değerlendirme Formu’nun bazı alt basamakları ile Yönetici İşlev Davranışları Derecelendirme Ölçeği’nin Anne Baba ve Öğretmen Formunun bazı alt boyutları arasında anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu saptanmıştır.Tartışma: Bulgular, DEHB olan çocukların TGG akranları ile kıyaslandığında Sosyal Bilgi İşleme Modelinin altı adımının her birinde ve yönetici işlevlerin bazı alt boyutlarında sınırlılıklar yaşadıklarını göstermektedir. Araştırma bulguları sosyal bilgi işleme ile yönetici işlevler arasındaki ilişkilerin DEHB olan çocukların sosyal ve akademik becerilerindeki önemine işaret etmektedir.
