Interview Transcripts from 24 University Students with ADHD on Curiosity and Learning

24 anonymized interview transcripts from a participatory qualitative study exploring how university students with ADHD experience and regulate curiosity in academic settings. The dataset was created by Anne-Laure Le Cunff and published on figshare in April 2026. It contains textual data from semi-structured interviews analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Use Cases

• Thematic analysis of lived experiences of curiosity in ADHD based on interview transcripts.
• Qualitative research on hypercuriosity and its regulation in structured academic environments.
• Developing inclusive pedagogical approaches based on student-reported challenges and strengths.
• Comparative discourse analysis of how neurodivergent students describe their learning processes.

Strengths

• Dataset is 1.9 MB in size, indicating a focused qualitative collection.
• Includes transcripts from 24 participants, a typical sample size for in-depth qualitative studies.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific participant pool of university students with high trait curiosity.
• The dataset consists of PDF files, which may require text extraction for computational analysis.
