Figure 1

Box-and-whisker plots of adult ASRS scores. (a) Comparison of the total score on the ASRS. (b) Comparison of scores for IA- (inattention-) related items of the ASRS. (c) Comparison of scores for H/I- (hyperactivity/impulsivity-) related items of the ASRS. White boxes: healthy control group [LSAS-J: cut-off value (COV) < 60/TK: COV < 122]. Boxes with oblique lines: pure-TK group (LSAS-J: COV < 60/TK: COV ≥ 122). Light gray boxes: pure-SAD group (LSAS-J: COV ≥ 60/TK: COV < 122). Dark gray boxes: mixed group (LSAS-J: COV ≥ 60/TK: COV ≥ 122). Differences among all groups were statistically significant (p < 0.001, Kruskal-Wallis test). Comparison between two groups was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction (p < 0.0125). ES: effect size; SAD: social anxiety disorder; ASRS: ADHD Self-Report Scale; LSAS-J: the Japanese version of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale; TK: Taijin-Kyofu-sho.
