abstract="We investigated ADHD symptoms and CU traits as predictors of violent media use in  adolescence, controlling for delinquency and ODD symptoms. The effects on of  disinhibition and arousal to negative stimuli, core characteristics of ADHD symptoms  and CU traits, and of gender were investigated. At age 15, 88 adolescents, 50 % boys  reported on CU traits, ADHD symptoms and delinquency. Parents rated the adolescents'  CU traits, ADHD- and ODD symptoms. At age 16, adolescents reported on their media  habits and performed tests of disinhibition and arousal to negative stimuli. Boys  had higher levels of CU traits and violent media use and girls had higher levels of  arousal to negative pictures. CU traits and inattention symptoms predicted violent  media use, the latter association applying only to boys, with CU traits being the  strongest predictor. Low arousal to threat pictures explained variance in violent  media use, above CU traits. Attraction to violent media seems affected by problem  behaviors, with CU traits coming forth as especially important.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
