Moderation effect of ED on the relationship between ADHD symptoms and HRQoL. Note. Regression lines show the association between ADHD symptoms and HRQoL for participants with three different levels of ED (low, medium and high). Participants with low levels of ED have higher HRQoL and stronger association between ADHD symptoms and HRQoL. Participants with higher levels of ED report lower HRQoL; for them, there is no association between ADHD symptoms and HRQoL. Note that higher HRQoL scores indicate better HRQoL; higher ED scores indicate worse emotional regulation; higher scores on the ADHD symptoms scale indicate higher levels of ADHD symptoms
