Previous literatures suggest that children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) exhibit a "positive bias (PB)," defined as an overestimation of one's own ability as compared to actual ability (Hoza et al., 1993). However, it is possible that the larger discrepancy (i.e., PB) in children with ADHD is accounted for by lower competency levels rather than unusually high perceptions of competency. The current study was the first to investigate whether PB is a perceptual bias associated with ADHD or a function of low competency. Thirty children who met research diagnostic criteria for ADHD and 28 control children were exposed to a novel task where possible success on the task (i.e., competency) was manipulated. This procedure created low, medium, and high levels of competency in children with and without ADHD and PB was measured at each level of competency. Six 2 (ADHD or No ADHD) x 3 (Performance Levels: Low, Medium, or High) ANOVAs were conducted with children's estimation of their performance and PB (discrepancy between their estimation and actual performance on the tasks). The results indicated that ADHD status was not significant while performance level was significant in 4 out of 6 analyses. Thus, the study found that performance levels contribute significantly to measurement of PB. Implications of this study are discussed.
