Abstract:
The relationship between children's reflection-impulsivity styles and their human figure drawings was examined for a sample of Mexican children of middle ( n = 97) and low ( n = 110) socioeconomic status. Drawings were scored for Developmental, Emotional, and Impulsiviry indicators. As in previous research with American preschoolers, the drawings of 23 Mexican preschoolers did not correlate with the styles; however, significant relationships between the styles and Impulsivity scores of older children of low status ( n = 87) were also found, suggesting that, when a higher-level of impulsivity is present in a population, a relationship between styles and drawings may be observed. The findings for low-status preschoolers, even their higher Impulsivity scores, support the notion that Kagan's measure of impulsivity is not appropriate for use with younger children.

Abstract:
Although impulsivity has been consistently linked to perpetration of sexual aggression, results lack clarity because they do not account for the substantial heterogeneity associated with the construct. The UPPS-P model (Lynam, Smith, Whiteside, & Cyders, 2006), which was proposed to clarify the multidimensional nature of impulsivity, has yet to be applied to sexual aggression. We measured UPPS-P Impulsivity in a sample of male college students who also self-reported on perpetration of sexual aggression. As predicted, impulsivity distinguished perpetrators from nonperpetrators. Perpetrators scored higher than nonperpetrators on Negative Urgency, Positive Urgency, and lack of Premeditation. Results suggest that the impulsivity traits most relevant to sexual aggression are the tendency to act impulsively when experiencing intense emotions (Positive and Negative Urgency) and lack of forethought and planning (lack of Premeditation).

Abstract:
AbstractMindfulness has been associated with fewer negative mental health symptoms during adolescence, but fewer studies have examined longitudinal associations between mindfulness and symptoms in conjunction with two vulnerability factors for psychopathology with mindfulness: rumination and impulsivity. This study examined longitudinal associations between internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress), mindfulness, rumination, and impulsivity over a one-year period among 352 Spanish adolescents (57.4% girls; M = 14.47, SD = 1.34). Participants completed self-reported measures of symptoms, mindfulness, rumination, and impulsivity at two time points. Mindfulness negatively predicted stress and depressive symptoms, and a bidirectional negative association was found between mindfulness and impulsivity. Impulsivity positively predicted stress, and anxiety positively predicted depressive symptoms, stress, and rumination. This study highlights the importance of mindfulness as a protective factor and impulsivity and anxiety as risk factors for internalizing symptoms throughout adolescence. These findings build on previous studies that examined longitudinal associations between mindfulness and symptoms by including rumination and impulsivity’s roles.

Abstract:
Introduction Obesity is a multiorgan disorder that is caused by eating a much larger overeating that the body needs to live. Obese people tend to eat a lot and after hours, and it is hypothetised that it exists a relationship between increased impulsivity and obesity. In addition these patients tend to have more psychopathology, Objectives The aim of the study is to observe if obese people ingest impulsively and if there are differences between the sexes regarding impulsivity. Also it will be studied the relationship between impulsivity in these patients and other psychosocial factors, anxiety and depression symptoms and personality traits. Methods It was carried out an assessment of impulsivity in 30 obese population followed at the outpatient Endocrinology that attended pre-bariatric surgery groups.Patients were handed the Plutchik impulsivity questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Results In our sample, 43.4% of the obese patients did not show high levels of impulsivity, while 56.6% did show markedly impulsive traits. No differences in impulsivity between sexes were found. No other significant relationships with addititional psychological factors were found. Conclusions A larger sample is needed to reach a conclusion and to extrapolate the results to the general population. People with morbid obesity have higher impulsivity and a binge eating;in addition they have more psychopathology, mainly affective, greater impulsivity and greater severity on scales that assess the core symptoms of disordered eating behavior and body dissatisfaction. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract:
Impulsivity's relationships to addictive and sexual behaviours raise questions regarding the extent impulsivity may constitute a vulnerability factor for subsequent addictive and sexual behaviours and/or results from each of these. Here, we systematically reviewed empirical support for impulsivity as a precipitating factor or a consequence of addictive or sexual behaviours. We restricted ourselves to recent, human studies with assessments over time, including at least one measure of impulsivity, addictive and sexual behaviours, yielding a review including 29 published reports from 28 studies. Findings point to generalized, self-reported impulsivity as a predictor of addictive and sexual behaviours at a wide range of severity, with elements of both impulsivity and compulsivity to these acts. Alcohol consumption often increases impulsive behaviour, including inclinations towards impulsive and potentially compulsive sexual acts. Research using the Sexual Delay Discounting Task has yielded findings linking impulsivity, addictive and sexual behaviour and as such is a valuable research tool that should be used more extensively. The present review identified gaps to be addressed in further research that concurrently examines facets of impulsivity, addictive and sexual behaviours, especially because criteria for compulsive sexual behaviour disorder have been included in the eleventh edition of the International Classification of Diseases . This article is part of the theme issue ‘Risk taking and impulsive behaviour: fundamental discoveries, theoretical perspectives and clinical implications’.

Abstract:
Prospective memory refers to the ability to plan and execute future intentions. A burgeoning body of research indicates that a significant proportion of the variability in prospective memory performance can be accounted for by personality traits, with two recent studies revealing that the various dimensions of impulsivity measured by the Barratt Impulsivity Scale–11 (BIS–11) are related to prospective memory failures. The present study was conducted to examine which dimensions of impulsivity indexed by the BIS–11 and UPPS–P relate to prospective memory failures and which dimensions of impulsivity contribute unique variance in the prediction of prospective memory failures. A large sample ( N = 662) of students completed the BIS–11, UPPS–P, Prospective Memory Questionnaire and a habitual prospective memory test. Consistent correlations between six of the seven measures of impulsivity and prospective memory failures were found. Regression analyses further revealed that lack of perseverance, emotional urgency and attentional impulsivity were reliable and unique predictors of prospective memory failures. Thus, difficulty remaining focused on tasks (especially long, boring or difficult tasks); lack of forethought, planning and distaste for challenging tasks; and tendencies to behave impulsively under conditions of strong affect relate most strongly to prospective memory failures.

Abstract:
Purpose Using food brands as a case in point, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between a local vs global brand positioning strategy and buying impulsivity, as well as the mediating role of construal level. The findings add a psychological argument to the array of reasons for firms to opt for a local instead of a global brand positioning strategy: local food brands promote higher levels of buying impulsivity than global brands by lowering consumers’ level of construal. Design/methodology/approach Five experiments use student and nonstudent samples, different construal level indices and generic and brand-specific buying impulsivity measures to test the hypotheses. Findings Local food brands promote higher levels of buying impulsivity than global brands by lowering consumers’ level of construal. Because local brands are proximal to consumers’ lifestyles, values, preferences and behaviors, they decrease the psychological distance between the brand and the consumer, compared with global brands. The smaller psychological distance lowers consumers’ construal level and renders the immediate, concrete, appetitive attributes of the product more salient, thus making consumers more prone to impulsively buy a local brand than a global one. Practical implications For the choice between a global or local brand positioning strategy, this paper argues in favor of the latter. Local (food) branding is a concrete brand positioning mechanism that can influence and benefit from consumers’ buying impulsivity. Originality/value The research reveals heretofore unknown but important implications of local vs global brand positioning strategies for consumers’ construal level and buying impulsivity.

Abstract:
Disorders characterized by impulsivity include disorders of impulse control (intermittent explosive disorder, pyromania, kleptomania, pathological gambling and trichotillomania), paraphilias, sexual impulsions and sexual addictions and impulsive aggression personality disorders (borderline, antisocial, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders). Impulsivity has a substantial impact on both individuals and society. Impulse control disorders may be conceptualized as a subset of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. In this article, we examine the genetic and neurobiological aetiology of these disorders and possible treatment options. The link between serotonergic dysfunction and the pathophysiology of impulsivity is discussed, and studies that examine the efficacy of various selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other alternatives in the treatment of impulsive disorders such as pathological gambling, sexual addictions and borderline personality disorder are presented.

Abstract:
L’impulsivité est une tendance comportementale fréquemment observée dans la population générale mais à des degrés différents. À ce propos, une forte impulsivité augmente les risques de développer un trouble psychiatrique, tel que les différentes formes d’addiction ou des troubles de la personnalité. Pour comprendre l’émergence de ces divers troubles comportementaux, mon projet de thèse s’est porté sur le rôle du contrôle cognitif dans les manifestations de l’impulsivité. Le contrôle cognitif est, en effet, un ensemble de fonctions cognitives nous permettant d’adapter nos comportements à un environnement changeant, et donc complexe. Durant ma thèse, je me suis plus particulièrement intéressée aux capacités d’adaptation des mécanismes de contrôle proactif et réactif chez des individus impulsifs, principalement dans la population générale mais également auprès de patients alcoolo-dépendants.Les trois premières études de ma thèse ont montré qu’une forte impulsivité était caractérisée par une utilisation moindre des mécanismes proactifs associée à un défaut d’adaptation des mécanismes de contrôle aux demandes externes et aux contraintes internes.Les individus impulsifs exercent moins de contrôle proactif alors que celui-ci devrait être favorisé au vu des caractéristiques contextuelles ou individuelles. Dans une quatrième étude dans laquelle des enregistrements EEG ont été effectués, nous nous sommes intéressées à l’activité cérébrale typique observée au moment de l’exécution des erreurs,nommée ERN/Ne, et dont le rôle serait de signaler les besoins en contrôle. Une réduction de cette activité cérébrale a été observée chez les individus les plus agressifs, mais pas chez les individus les plus impulsifs. Ce résultat suggère que l’émergence de comportements inadaptés pourrait être en partie expliquée par cette réduction du signal d’alarme. Enfin,des résultats préliminaires suggèrent un lien entre un indice périphérique de l’adaptation physiologique (HRV) et les capacités d’adaptation des mécanismes de contrôle. Ce résultat ouvre la voie à de nouvelles interventions thérapeutiques pour la réduction des comportements inadaptés.Dans l’ensemble, les résultats de cette thèse suggèrent que l’impulsivité en population générale est associée à un système de contrôle cognitif moins proactif et moins flexible,menant potentiellement à des comportements inappropriés quand les mécanismes de contrôle en jeu sont inadaptés
Impulsivity is a behavioral tendency frequently observed in the general population butat different degrees. Interestingly, higher impulsivity increases the probability to develop and to be diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, such as substance use or personality disorders. To gain a better understanding on the emergence of such psychiatric disorders, my PhD project focused on the role of cognitive control in impulsive manifestations. Indeed, cognitive control is a set of basic executive functions ensuring adaptive behaviors to an ever-changing and complex environment. More particularly, during my PhD research, I investigated the flexible adaptation between reactive and proactive control mechanisms in impulsive individuals, mainly from the general population but also from an alcohol-dependent population.The first three studies of my thesis revealed that high impulsivity was characterizedby a less-proactive cognitive control system, and associated with a weaker adaptation ofcognitive control mechanisms both to external demands and internal constraints. Morespecifically, I observed that high impulsive individuals less exert proactive control whileit should be favored given contextual or individual characteristics. In the fourth study inwhich EEG signals were recorded, we were interested in the brain activity that is typicallyobserved during errors (i.e., the ERN/Ne), which is thought to signal the need for control.A reduction in this brain activity was observed in high aggressive individuals, but notin high impulsive individuals. This finding suggest that the emergence of maladaptivebehaviors may be explained, to a certain extent, by the reduced alarm signal. Finally, somepreliminary results suggest a link between a peripheral index of physiological adaptation(i.e., HRV) and the capacity to adapt control mechanisms. These findings open newavenues for therapeutic interventions in the reduction in maladaptive behaviors.Overall, findings from the current thesis suggest that impulsivity in the general population is associated with a less proactive and a less flexible cognitive control system, potentially leading to inappropriate behaviors when the control mechanisms at play are maladapted

Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is the much debated construct of impulsivity, exploring its meaning, etiology and measurement. The literature review provides a background for the empirical papers, by examining the theoretical underpinnings of impulsivity, from which a plethora of measuring instruments have been generated. The review explores the difficulties associated with measuring a contrast which has little consensus over its components, and highlights studies which have attempted to draw together a common understanding of the construct. The main paper provides a useful exploration of four widely used self-report measures of impulsivity, investigating whether the measures examine similar or different facets of impulsivity. The results demonstrate the lack of congruity between the measures, suggesting that two of the measures appear to tap a common construct, whereas the remaining two measure only a narrow construct and raise questions about its validity. The brief paper is a pilot study drawing upon a visual search paradigm to investigate the Attentional Fixity theory of impulsivity, arousal and performance among a sexual offending sample. The findings although tentative, failed to support the hypothesis that arousal improves performance in a cognitive task. Instead it was found that performance decreased when individuals were presented with sexual stimuli. The findings also fail to support the hypothesis that high impulsivity is associated with an inability to fix attention on a source of input. This suggest that the current sample of sexual offenders, as a high impulsive group tend to fix their attention on sexual stimuli and become distracted from other cognitive demands. Finally, the reflective review explores further findings from the empirical papers, reflecting upon methodological, ethical and conceptual issues.

Abstract:
Purpose: The systematic review summarised the research investigating potential risk factors for impulsive behaviours in forensic populations. The empirical study examined the predictive utility of clinician rated, self-report and behavioural measures of impulsivity in detecting violence and antisocial behaviour in forensic mental health inpatient settings. Method: The review is comprised of 9 studies identified through electronic database searches using a structured search strategy and predetermined inclusion criteria. The empirical study employed a cross-sectional design using retrospective and prospective statistical analysis. Forty-three participants were recruited from secure forensic mental health inpatient settings across Scotland and data collected from clinician rated, self-report and behavioural measures of impulsivity. Results: The review found original evidence to suggest that traumatic brain injury, substance and alcohol misuse, trauma and sleep as possible predictors of impulsive behaviour in forensic populations. The empirical study found a relatively consistent relationship between impulsive behaviour and violent or antisocial behaviour in a sample of forensic mental health inpatients. Conclusions: The systematic review identified a limited number of risk factors thought to influence impulsive behaviour in forensic populations. The review highlights the need for future research with improved methodological design to further explore contributory factors for increased levels of impulsivity. Findings from the empirical study reveal clinician rating of impulsive behaviour to be the most sensitive in predicting future incidents of violent and antisocial behaviour, which may be supplemented by the addition of a self-report measure.

Abstract:
The research reported in this dissertation supports a conceptualisation of impulsivity as a fundamental trait which is not subsumed by other traits in large scale models of personality, whether of three five or more factors. It argues for this by showing that a measure of impulsivity demonstrates incremental validity over and above the validity of two measures of the Big Five personality traits in the prediction of a variety of behaviours which previous research has linked to individual differences in impulsivity. The research also demonstrates that while impulsivity is a coherent trait it nevertheless subsumes at least two and perhaps three correlated lower order traits; in the first instance this is demonstrated through an analysis of the factor structure of the BIS-11 which replicates the factor structure proposed by Patton et al (1996). Research reviewed in the first three chapters suggests a conceptual overlap between the multi-facetted trait of impulsivity and the dual factor model of inattentive and impulsive behaviours which constitutes the syndrome of ADHD. Two studies explore this overlap by first establishing that ADHD behaviours may be considered as two highly correlated traits and then exploring the correlations and conceptual overlap between these ADHD traits and the impulsivity facets measured by the BIS-11. The results suggest that while the correspondence between the variables across the two questionnaires and domains is not simple it does justify further exploration. The final study explores the relationships between self report measures of inattention and impulsivity and laboratory tasks selected to tap into behavioural and cognitive inhibition. The significant correlation between the cognitive inhibition tasks and the variance shared by the inattention and impulsivity scales supports the hypothesised role of cognitive variables in affecting individual differences in a unitary construct of impulsivity/inattention.

Abstract:
The relationship of swearing in respect to personality, religiosity, and social influences was analyzed in this study. Many assumptions are made about the effects of swear words and the act of swearing can have on an individual. The present study hypothesizes that the use of swears words is dependent on an individual's personality characteristics and that exposure first happens from an external source (mass media outlets) rather than a familiar source (family member). More specifically, extroverted personality types will be more likely to engage in the use of profanity, due to their more impulsive nature. Online surveys such as the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and The Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, & Sensation Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P) were used to collect data from 763 participants. The results indicated impulsivity was positively correlated with personality characteristics of neuroticism and swearing acceptance. Swearing acceptance was negatively correlated with how often participants' families took part in religious activities growing up and was positively correlated with how important religion is the participant, their family, and religious affiliation. In conclusion, familial exposure (i.e., mother) was dominant over any media source for exposure to swearing, which goes against the previous assumptions about swearing.

Full text
Abstract:
genes show monoallelic parent-of-origin specific expression and have an important role in mediating adult behaviour. Previous research has indicated that maternally expressed Nesp and paternally expressed Grb10, which are expressed in overlapping brain regions, may have a role in mediating risk-taking and/or impulsive behaviours. Impulsivity and risk taking are natural parts of human behaviour; however pathological levels of impulsivity and risk-taking are recognised as clinical traits of many psychiatric disorders. The aim of the current research is to explicitly test whether these two oppositely imprinted genes influence impulsivity and/or risk-taking behaviour in mice by examining mouse models that lack functional copies of paternal Grb10 (Grb10+/p) and maternal Nesp (Nespm/+) in a number of tests of impulsivity and risk-taking. Unlike previous findings in Nespm/+ mice, Grb10+/p mice had the same propensity to explore a novel environment as wild type (WT) controls. However, in a measure of delay-discounting behaviour it was discovered that Grb10+/p mice were less likely to discount delayed rewards. This is in contrast to previous work with Nespm/+ mice, which discounted delayed rewards more steeply. This is the first demonstration that oppositely expressed imprinted genes antagonistically affect behaviour. To further explore these behaviours, a novel test of risk-taking was developed. Using predator odours a perceived ‘risky’ environment was created in order to measure the decision between fear and reward seeking. Using the Predator Odour Risk-Taking (PORT) task it was demonstrated that Nespm/+ and Grb10+/p mice showed comparable levels of risk-taking behaviour to WT littermates. Finally, immunofluorescence was used to discover that Nesp55 and Grb10 are not only expressed in the same brain regions, but are co-expressed in some cells, particularly in serotonergic neurons. This suggests that these imprinted genes may be influencing delay discounting behaviour via the same integral neurotransmitter systems.

Abstract:
Background: Addiction presents a significant problem for many in prison, yet this group remains relatively understudied in research exploring associated psychological phenomena. Impulsivity has been established as one important psychological factor associate with addiction in the general population and it is of interest to broaden the scope of such investigation to relevant groups. Aims and Objectives: The current study primarily aimed to study the relationship between impulsivity and addictive behaviours in a sample of prisoners, including use of a range of substances and problem gambling. A further objective was to support ongoing developments in the field of impulsivity research, which consider the importance of conceptualising impulsivity as a multifaceted construct. Method: Seventy-two prisoners were recruited from a male prison in south London. Associations between their engagement with addictive behaviours and level of impulsivity were explored both for a trait measure of impulsivity and behavioural measures of two specific facets of impulsivity; all previously associated with addiction in the wider literature. Results: High rates of engagement with addictive behaviours were found, consistent with previous research of prisoners. However associations between impulsivity and addictive behaviours were highly varied depending on the variables under study. Of note lifetime frequent use of only two substances (crack/cocaine and opiates) were found to strongly associate with either elevated trait or behavioural impulsivity. In particular one subscale of trait impulsivity was found to be significantly predictive of frequent crack/cocaine use in the sample. Conclusion: The variance in findings suggests a need for more thorough and selective investigation of how different types of impulsivity may or may not relate to different addictive behaviours in the prisoner population. This would help support firmer conclusions being drawn on the nature of these relationships. The current findings should be considered in the context of limited and inconsistent related research of prisoners to date; however do highlight important areas of prisoner need and potential areas of research interest to consider in future large-scale investigations.

Compulsive hoarding is a serious disorder that causes significant impairment in the home. While compulsive hoarding has been traditionally associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), standard OCD treatments have been mostly ineffective for hoarding. Recent research has provided evidence that hoarding has a distinct profile that could indicate a separate disorder. Further understanding of hoarding may advance classification and treatment. One understudied aspect of hoarding is excessive acquisition. Acquisition behaviors in hoarding appear to share similarities with impulse control disorders. While preliminary research has suggested elevated impulsivity in those who hoard, prior studies have been inconsistent in their measurement of impulsivity. Also, the relationship between impulsivity and excessive acquisition behaviors remains unexplored. This study assessed impulsivity in hoarding (n = 32) and anxiety disorder (n = 32) participants using a multi-dimensional model of impulsivity. Participants underwent a diagnostic assessment and completed self-report forms and neuropsychological tasks measuring impulsivity. Participants also completed an experimental task to assess acquiring behaviors after a mood induction. Participants completed measures of affect and state impulsivity, before and after a negative or neutral mood induction. There were no significant differences between diagnostic groups on self-reported impulsivity levels. Significant between-group differences were found on several neuropsychological tasks. Those with hoarding had significantly poorer response inhibition and lowered levels of adaptive and maladaptive risk-taking than participants with anxiety disorders. A diagnosis of hoarding predicted these outcomes independent of social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. In the acquisition task, the hoarding group acquired significantly more items than the anxiety disorder group but there was not a significant interaction effect with mood induction condition. The hoarding group had a significantly greater increase in state impulsivity across time but there was also not an interaction effect with mood induction condition. An analysis designed to assess whether state impulsivity mediated the relationship between negative affect and acquisition behaviors failed to find a significant indirect effect. Overall, study findings suggest differences in impulsivity for those who hoard as compared to those with an anxiety disorder. A continued emphasis on understanding impulsivity in hoarding could further diagnostic classification and treatment development.

Abstract:
This study aims to address the issue of impulsivity and shopping addiction. Considering that psychological variables, especially personality traits, are decisive for the evaluation of human behavior, especially in potential consumers, hypothetically, it is assumed that one of the major consequences of impulsivity is the cause of poor consumption management, consecutively, the form of economic handling, which is justified by the evaluation between the constructs (Alves & Dias, 2019; Alves, 2022; Gonçalves, 2021). 221 consumers over the age of 18 in the city of Natal-RN participated in the study. The sample was evaluated in the GPower 3.2 statistical package, which presented statistical indicators that ensured that the 'n' collected was sufficient to carry out the research. The study consisted of sending questionnaires via Google Docs , consisting of the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (Barratt & Patton, 1983; Pechorro et al., 2017), Dickman Impulsivity Scale (Dickman, 1990), Shopping Addiction Scale (Andreassen et al., 2015) and Demographic and Economic Questionnaire. The findings of this study revealed that the scales were reliable, with alphas above the expected psychometric criterion (> 0.70), ensuring the consistency of the constructs in the collected sample. It is noteworthy that the established theoretical model was refuted, giving rise to an alternative model, which was corroborated, namely: Barratt impulsivity influenced Dickman impulsivity (l = 0.85), with the latter variable influencing shopping addiction (l = 0.82), with all positive associations. An ANOVA was performed, associated with the Scheffé post-hoc test , with the results revealing that the mean scores were significant for the direct effect of Barratt and Dickman Impulsivity, which presented higher scores in relation to shopping addiction. Also, a significant result was observed in the interaction effect of Barratt Impulsivity versus Dickman Impulsivity with higher scores at the high level of these constructs in relation to shopping addiction.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Impulsivity and Alexithymia are related to substance use disorders (SUD) as risk factors (1,2), several cognitive skills are implied in both traits (1,2). However, few researches are published on their mutual relationship in SUD patients. OBJECTIVES To describe the correlations between alexithymia and impulsivity in SUD patients. METHODS Patients with SUD (according to DSM-5) were evaluated with invited to participate in an addiction treatment Ad-Hoc questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20), Barratt impulsivity scales (BIS-11) and Dickamn functional dysfunctional impulsivity scale (FIDI) were performed in all patients. RESULTS 93 patients completed the full evaluation, the total score of TAS-20 was significantly related to total scores of BIS-11 and FIDI. Analyzing subscales, Difficulty Describing Feelings subscale describe better the association between total TAS-20 scores and impulsivity, and it may be the link between dysfunctional impulsivity and alexithymia. Externally-Oriented Thinking subscale was fewer correlated to any BIS-11 factor compared to the other subscales of TAS-20. Interestingly, cognitive impulsivity is not related to total TAS-20 scores and the TAS-20 subscales. CONCLUSIONS Alexythimia and impulsivity are related in SUD (especially some subfactors are better associated), and hence these relations should be considered when conducting therapeutic approaches.

Abstract:
Previous research suggests that bisexual women’s rate of cannabis use is 2 to 7 times higher than their heterosexual peers; however, factors contributing to this are unclear. Trait impulsivity (i.e., tendency to act without forethought) and history of childhood physical abuse (CPA) are two risk factors that may be relevant for bisexual women’s cannabis use. Specifically, bisexual women indicate high levels of risk-taking and commonly report histories of CPA. While both impulsivity and CPA have been identified as predictors of cannabis use in heterosexual women, research has yet to explore these factors as predictors of cannabis use among bisexual women. Consequently, the present study examined CPA and trait impulsivity as predictors of cannabis use in a sample of bisexual women. It was hypothesized that both trait impulsivity and exposure to CPA would predict greater frequency of cannabis use. Participants were 225 bisexual women aged 22.77 years (SD = 3.45) recruited from a southeastern university and community area. Participants completed an online survey including questions about their past 30-day frequency of cannabis use (5-point scale ranging from 0 = never to 4 = daily), CPA using the Child Maltreatment Scale-physical abuse subscale, and impulsivity using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-version 11. A majority of the sample reported cannabis use in the past 30 days (60.3%), with 23.2% using once or twice, 12.9% using weekly, 11.2% using almost daily, and 12.9% using daily. To account for the large number of zero values on the cannabis use score, we tested a Poisson hurdle model to evaluate the effects of CPA and impulsivity on cannabis use. Frequency of cannabis use was modeled first as a binary logistic model (0 versus any use) and then as a truncated regression model for non-zero responses. Results indicated that across all participants, greater impulsivity predicted any cannabis use in the past 30 days (p = .003), but CPA did not (p = .942). Among participants who reported past 30-day cannabis use only, CPA was associated with increased frequency of cannabis use (p = .003), and impulsivity did not predict frequency of cannabis use (p = .683). Overall, results indicated that greater trait impulsivity was associated with past 30-day cannabis use, but not frequency of cannabis use. Conversely, greater CPA exposure was not associated with whether one used cannabis in the past 30 days but instead was related to increased frequency of past 30-day cannabis use. Thus, although trait impulsivity may identify cannabis users, CPA may identify sexual minority women who are at risk for increased frequency of cannabis use. Given the potential long-term harms associated with increased cannabis use (e.g., changes in brain morphology, cognitive impairment, and respiratory issues), prevention efforts targeting bisexual women may want to consider impulsivity and CPA.

Abstract:
Background and aims. Typical cognitive biases (irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions and erroneous perceptions) and high levels of impulsivity have been systematically reported among individuals with problem gambling. The objective of this study is to examine the role of the chronological age into the relationships between cognitive biases and impulsivity with the gambling disorder (GD) profile during adulthood. Methods. The sample analysed in this study included n=209 patients into the range age 18-77 yrs-old, recruited at the Pathological Gambling Outpatients Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital (Barcelona). Results. Path-analysis showed a mediational link between chronological age, the presence of a comorbid depression or anxiety disorder, and the level of GD symptoms. Orthogonal polynomial contrasts showed a positive quadratic trend between the individuals’ age and cognitive distortions severity (higher impairing irrational beliefs obtained among younger and older patients, compared to middle-age patients). The sensation-seeking level showed a negative linear trend with the age: the older the patient’s age, the lower the score in this impulsivity domain. Among younger age patients gambling severity correlated only with cognitive bias levels, while during middle age patients gambling severity correlated with both cognitive bias and impulsivity levels. Within older age group fewer and poorer associations were found between cognitive bias and impulsivity with the accumulated debts due to the gambling activity, and the bets per gambling-episode. Conclusion. The results of this study could help in the development of reliable/valid assessment tools for GD, as well as for the design of precise/effective intervention plans and guidelines. These should include the patients’ age, the cognitive style, and the impulsivity levels, with the aim of providing precise and accurate tools to manage gambling problems.

Abstract:
Impulsivity has been implicated as a factor in cannabis use and cannabis-related problems. However, impulsivity is a multi-faceted construct. Recent work in substance use has used the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Questionnaire (UPPS-P), which is designed to assess five facets of impulsivity. Research examining these facets of impulsivity and cannabis use characteristics is somewhat inconsistent, but generally has suggested that Sensation Seeking and Lack of Premeditation may be related to cannabis use and Negative Urgency may be associated with cannabis-related problems. In addition, a substantial literature exists suggesting that mindfulness, the ability to focus one’s attention on the present moment in a non-judgmental, non-reactive, and tolerant manner, is decreased in substance users. However, the literature specific to mindfulness and cannabis use characteristics is relatively inconsistent. Thus, the aim of the current study was to replicate and extend prior research on the associations between impulsivity, mindfulness, and cannabis use. A community sample of adults (N = 289, 137 female) completed an online survey that included the Short UPPS-P (SUPPS-P) impulsiveness questionnaire, Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and questions about cannabis use and cannabis-related problems. A logistic regression in the full sample revealed that SUPPS-P Lack of Premeditation and MAAS total scores, as well as alcohol consumption, were significant positive predictors of cannabis user status (i.e., use in the past 30 days). The Lack of Premeditation finding is consistent with prior studies, but the association between increased mindfulness and cannabis user status was unexpected. It’s possible that the mind set and physical setting in which cannabis is used has influence on the subjective experience, and thus, users may be seeking effects relevant for an overall sense of well-being similar to that seen in research on psychedelic drug use. In the subsample of cannabis users that reported use in the past 30 days (n = 87), no significant associations were revealed between impulsivity facets or mindfulness and cannabis use frequency. No impulsivity or mindfulness variables emerged as significant predictors of cannabis-related problems in users; although, consistent with prior studies, the association with SUPPS-P Negative Urgency approached significance. Alcohol-related problems were associated with cannabis-related problems as well. These findings extend the previous literature and have implications in identifying risk for problematic/disordered use as well as improving upon interventions and treatment approaches for problematic cannabis use.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This systematic review aimed to synthesize the existing literature reporting the effects of computer-based cognitive training on the executive functions of children with ADHD. Condition being studied: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosed in childhood, characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Today it is recognized that ADHD is associated with an alteration in the volume and level of activation in prefrontal areas related to executive functions. Based on these clinical findings, some authors suggest that ADHD is not a disorder of primary attention origin but instead responds to an alteration in the synaptic circuits of some brain areas, including the prefrontal neocortex, areas involved in cognitive regulation and control, and processes known as executive functions.
