What is the result of this “study”? Teens often listen to music!! ADHD is just a buzzword to fish attention. How comes that academics nowadays produce more and more such crappy papers?

Literally the first paragraph: "The results also reveal a difference in the proportion of individuals preferring stimulating music between the groups: ADHD-screened individuals report significantly more frequent listening to stimulating music, regardless of the activity type (more or less cognitive). Other aspects of music listening are common to both groups."

  And the bit before it: > The results indicate that certain listening habits differ significantly between the neurotypical and ADHD-screened groups. The ADHD-screened group reports significantly more background music listening during less cognitive activities and while studying, compared to the neurotypical group. I don't think it's an interesting conclusion, so maybe the GP is looking for something more substantial.

    I dont know what other conclusion to a study like this one could possibly want. Either ADHD affects if you like listening to music when doing other tasks or it doesn't.

There are more and more quality papers in my opinion. That said, we are now collectively aware of more and more poor quality papers thanks to the speed of the internet and the ease with which anyone can search for subject and throw up a paper without regard for quality. It's worth noting that the source here is a dubious "research publisher" paper mill described as: They’re quasi-predatory. Maybe not as bad as MDPI, but engaging in many of the same practices: inflation of special issues, startlingly fast review times, and from other commenters it seems they’re also ignoring reviewers so they can publish more articles and bring in the APCs. Like MDPI, you can find good articles in Frontiers papers - one of my go to’s for interrupted time series is in a Frontiers journal - but as time goes on and knowledge of their shadiness spreads, you’ll be better served not having your name associated with them. here in r/AskAcademia : https://old.reddit.com/r/AskAcademia/comments/179bnvv/how_are_frontiers_journals_viewed_in_the_academic/ https://old.reddit.com/r/AskAcademia/comments/179bnvv/how_ar...

> ADHD is just a buzzword to fish attention. And you’re just now telling me this? I’ve been struggling with it for 40 years - and the last thing I want is attention, especially in that way.
