Not at risk for ADHD 28 (26-30.8)
Family APGAR
ERLN 0.048
ERLN 9 (6.3-10)
ERLN≥median (higher lability/negativity) 8 (5-10)
EREG 0.003
EREG≥median (higher regulation) 9 (6-10)
EREG 7 (5-9)

Data are presented as median (interquartile range). Comparison of EREG between groups used Kruskal–Wallis test. Comparison of ERLN and Family APGAR between groups used Mann– Whitney test. *Dunn’s test revealed significant differences in EREG median scores between groups of different parents’ education level: 1) elementary school vs. bachelor (p=0.026) and 2) middle school vs. bachelor (p=0.011). ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; ERC, Emotion Regulation Checklist; EREG, ERC emotion regulation subscale; ERLN, ERC emotional lability/negativity subscale
