AB The thesis is dealing with self-concept in children with ADHD. These data were obtained from 122 primary school students, out of which 54 children suffer from ADHD and 68 are healthy. They were administered the SPAS test (Student's Perception of Ability Scale) and the grades from their latest school report were used as an objective criterion. The findings show that the self-concept of children with ADHD in school environment is lower than the self-concept of healthy children in all measured domains, and in two of them significantly. Children with ADHD exhibit a tendency to Positive Illusory Bias. Although the self-concept of children with ADHD is bad in comparison to healthy children, the teachers' perception of these children is even more negative.
