title: Weekly Calendar Planning Activity for University Students: Comparison of Individuals With and Without ADHD by Gender.
abstract: To introduce a revised version of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) adapted for university students (Weekly Calendar Performance Activity for students [WCPA-S]) and compare the performance of this activity between students with and without ADHD and across gender groups.
  
  
  
  Participants included a total of 157 students, ages 20 to 30, enrolled in universities/colleges and divided into two groups: students with ADHD (male = 23, female = 38) and without ADHD (male = 33, female = 63). A two-way ANOVA was used for data analyses. The WCPA-S was administered to each student individually.
  
  
  
  Significant differences were found between students with and without ADHD and across genders in performance, duration of performance, and in the number of strategies used.
  
  
  
  The WCPA-S proved to be an effective performance-based diagnostic tool for the utilization of executive functions in the daily life of university students. This instrument can be used to predict success in higher education and to support learning among university students with ADHD.
