The recent research aimed to determine a structural model of relations between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mindfulness, alexithymia and in adults. It sought to discover contribution of ADHD and in predicting both of mindfulness and alexithymia in adults. The basic sample of research included (1294) adult; 220 male, 1074 female (Mean Age=23, 1year, Standard deviation; SD= 2,94). The tools of the research contained 15 item version of the Five Factor Mindfulness Scale, Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire and the Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales; CARR-S. The research results showed contribution of ADHD in predicting both of alexithymia and mindfulness. Women reported higher total alexithymia, positive and negative difficulty identifying one’s own feelings, positive, negative difficulty describing feelings and General-Externally orientated thinking scores, "Observe", "Describe", total mindfulness scores, "Hyperactivity/ restlessness" and " Problems with self-concept" scores than men. There is no significant difference between "Impulsivity/ emotional lability", "Inattention/ memory problems" and "ADHD Index" mean scores of male and female. There were statistically significant paths between research variables in the hypothesized model. (Published abstract)
