Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare boredom and its components (internal
stimuli and external stimuli) in students with mathematics disorder, attention
deficit (hyperactivity disorder) and normal people in Tabriz city. This is a
comparative case-control study. The statistical universe of this research includes
all 12-16 year-old male and female students with mathematics disorder, attention
deficit/ hyperactivity disorder and normal people in Tabriz city during the
academic year 1390-1391. For this purpose, 30 students with mathematics
disorder, and 30 students with attention deficit disorder/ hyperactivity referred to
specialized clinics (ages between 9-12 years) were selected through sampling.
The normal group included 35 students who were enrolled in regular schools
after being matched in terms of demographic characteristics with the other two
groups were randomly selected. To collect data, Boredom questionnaires, the
parents form of Conner’s scale and Raven test was used. The results of
multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference
between the three groups of students in terms of boredom. So people with
attention deficit disorder and mathematics disorder/ hyperactivity showed, higher
levels of impatience than normal individuals. But between the two groups of
people with attention deficit disorder and mathematics disorder/ hyperactivity,
significant differences were observed.
