As early as in the 1980s, scholars suggested that hyperactivity was a Western concept that had no validity in other cultures. The disorder was associated with ‘‘cultural tempo’’ (Block, 1977) or ‘‘permissiveness’’ of Western culture (Ho, 1981).

Evidence of comparable factor dimensions similarly associated with gender and age effects would further support a cross-cultural consistency of the underlying dimensions of ADHD

Overall, our review of the factor analyses of the core ADHD symptoms worldwide supports a cross-cultural consistency of the expression of the underlying dimensions of this disorder.

The bidimensional model of ADHD symptoms is generally confirmed across school-age children from different geographical regions, cultures, ethnicities, gender, and age groups. It would appear that in spite of cultural influences in the perception and interpretation of behavior, parents, teachers, and clinicians can discriminate between different ADHD symptom patterns in a similar way as implied in the DSM–IV (Meyer et al., 2004).

Research indicates that the inattention dimension appears to be more strongly associated with executive function deficits (Chabildas, Pennington, & Willcutt, 2001; Nigg et al., 2005), and academic underachievement, shyness, and social withdrawal (Lahey et al., 1998). The hyperactivity-impulsivity dimension, on the other hand, is more strongly associated with accidental injuries and peer relationship problems associated with disruption, aggression, and low self-control; conduct problems; and antisocial behavior (Lahey et al., 1998). Replication of these findings cross-culturally would further support the external validity and generalizability of these two ADHD dimensions.
