The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The present research was in the category of causal-comparative descriptive researches. The research population included all adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Tehran. 20 adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and 20 adolescents without attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the age range of 12 to 17 years were selected and included in the research. The sample group was evaluated by Achenbach's behavioral inventory in terms of internalizing and externalizing problems. Research data were analyzed using independent t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference between two groups of adolescents with and without attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in internalizing and externalizing problems. In other words, adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder showed significantly more behavioral problems than adolescents without the disorder. However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in the two components of physical problems and physical complaints. According to the obtained results, it is suggested that intervention programs based on behavioral and emotional problems tailored for adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder should be designed and used to reduce the problems of this group of people.
