N2  - OBJECTIVES: The current study investigated whether a maladaptive family environment would moderate the strength of the relations of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattention (ADHD-IN) and to depressive symptoms in a large sample of college students. <br><br>METHODS: Participants (n = 3,172), between the ages of 18-29 (M ± SD<sub>age</sub>  = 19.24 ± 1.52; 69.8% women; 80.4% White) and enrolled in five universities in the United States completed self-report measures of symptomatology, interparental conflict, and family expressiveness of emotions. <br><br>RESULTS: A negative emotional climate strengthened relations of SCT with ADHD-IN and depressive symptoms. Moreover, the lack of a positive emotional climate strengthened the co-occurrence of SCT with depressive symptoms, though not with ADHD-IN. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The current study is the first to demonstrate that the family environment moderates the association between SCT and co-occurring symptomatology in young adults.<br><br>© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
