Dutta, M. M., & Sanyal, N. (2015) investigated the marital quality and family
pathology in parents of children with ADHD in comparison with parents of Non-
ADHD children. 32 parents of children with ADHD and 32 parents of non-ADHD
children were selected. Data were collected using Marital Quality Scale and Family
Pathology Scale. Independent t-test reveals that the two groups differ significantly
with respect to the total index of family pathology. Further the mean scores of family
pathology in parents of ADHD children were higher than parents of non-ADHD
children. Higher means scores indicates poor family functioning.
