Emotional dysregulation is considered key in ADHD. Yet, measuring emotion dysregulation using a one-time measurement in the lab is difficult. In addition, the link between emotion dysregulation and executive function, which is also compromised in ADHD, is still not understood. In the current study, we use ecological monitoring – using mobile apps and smart watches – to measure daily variations in emotion regulation and in executive function, and measure their co-variation over time.
