https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactance_(psychology)
In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, regulations, advice, recommendations, information, nudges, and messages that are perceived to threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one’s choice of response and/or range of alternatives.
No, it isn’t the ADHD. Nowhere in this post is ADHD mentioned. Not everything is ADHD. In fact, this is a generalisable behaviour as described under the post itself by OP.

Super interesting study, thanks for posting!

If you mean “Americans” as someone from the Americas, sure.
If you mean USians, the comment OP is not.
I’m not American, and I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old… Like, sometimes people just HAVE that…
