2022, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Susceptibility to internal sources of distraction in daily life (propensity to mind-wandering) was measured using the Daydreaming Frequency Subscale. The Daydreaming Frequency Subscale has been used to study, for example, the effects of ageing on attentional shifting (Giambra, 1993), psychological wellbeing (Stawarczyk et al., 2012), and sleep quality (Carciofo et al., 2014). A positive relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptomatology and Daydreaming Frequency Subscale scores has been reported (Franklin et al., 2017; Seli et al., 2015).
