Although multiple studies have investigated the association between interpersonal relationships and ADHD, few have considered the role of sexual orientation. A total of 702 participants were recruited to complete an online self-report study; after data screening, 639 Canadian undergraduate psychology students (504 heterosexual, 135 non-heterosexual; 78% women) were retained and assessed on ADHD symptoms, attachment, gender role beliefs, intimacy, and social support. Controlling for sex and age, non-heterosexual participants reported significantly higher ADHD symptoms on both the inattention (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.77) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.69) subscales and more feminist gender role beliefs (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.99) and were over four times as likely to score above the 90th percentile of the ADHD symptom distribution (OR = 4.46). In a multivariate model, attachment anxiety, gender role beliefs, and sexual orientation each independently predicted ADHD symptoms (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = .25). The associations between interpersonal variables and ADHD symptoms were largely similar across groups, and sexual orientation did not moderate them; an apparent difference in the social support association did not survive covariate control or a sensitivity analysis and is treated as exploratory. Given the cross-sectional design, these results suggest that factors beyond interpersonal functioning, such as minority stress, may contribute to the elevated ADHD symptoms observed among non-heterosexual individuals.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941261465303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,27]],"date-time":"2026-06-27T06:15:41Z","timestamp":1782540941000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["ADHD Symptoms, Interpersonal Functioning, and Sexual Orientation in Undergraduate Adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1527-2888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florence","family":"Gourgues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Neveu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5418-4429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillaume","family":"Durand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa"},{"name":"Saint Paul University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_1","unstructured":"Abdelnour E.
