Despite previous research indicating a link between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and emotion dysregulation (EDR), the precise nature of this relationship remains incompletely understood. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a structural model that elucidates the connection between EDR disorder and the hyperactivity disorder that co-occurs with attention deficit in this population. The study was conducted with a sample of 180 children, assessed by 30 teachers in public schools located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. To accomplish the study’s aim, the researchers developed a diagnostic scale to identify individuals with the hyperactivity disorder that accompanies attention deficit, as well as a scale to assess EDR disorder. The findings of the study demonstrate a positive association between ADHD and EDR. Despite the limitations inherent in diagnostic research within this domain, the structural model proposed in this study offers a distinctive framework for jointly classifying EDR disorder and ADHD. Future investigations in this often overlooked area may be guided by the divergent predictions offered by each of these models.
