Previous research on relationships between self-reported impulsivity and behavioral impulsivity has been limited because behavioral impulsivity was assessed using individual tasks. To alleviate the task-impurity problem and the low reliability of laboratory tasks assessing impulsivity, the present study examined the correlations between a latent variable constructed from the performances of three laboratory tasks assessing impulsive action and each dimension of self-reported impulsivity. University students in Japan (N = 176) responded to the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale assessing five dimensions of self-reported impulsivity that included the following: negative urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, sensation seeking, and positive urgency. They also conducted laboratory tasks for assessing impulsive action: the go/no-go task, stop signal task, and Conners continuous performance test 3rd edition (CCPT). Results indicated weak correlations between each dimension of self-reported impulsivity and the latent variable named impulsive action constructed from the performances of three laboratory tasks (mean r = .10) and with the performances of individual laboratory tasks (mean r = .03). The latent variable of impulsive action and the commission error rate in the CCPT were significantly correlated with sensation seeking. However, this association disappeared after controlling for the influence of gender. These findings suggested that measures of self-reported and behavioral impulsivity might assess different constructs.

自我报告的冲动与潜在冲动变量之间的关联（由三个实验室任务构成）

自我报告的冲动性与行为冲动性之间关系的先前研究受到了限制，因为行为冲动性是通过单独的任务进行评估的。为了缓解任务不纯问题和实验室任务评估冲动的低可靠性，本研究检查了由三个评估冲动行为的实验室任务的性能构成的潜变量与自我报告的冲动的每个维度之间的相关性。日本的大学生（N = 176）对UPPS-P冲动行为量表进行了评估，该量表评估了自我报告的冲动的五个维度，包括以下五个方面：消极的紧迫感，缺乏冥想，缺乏毅力，寻求感觉和积极的紧迫感。他们还执行了实验室任务以评估冲动行为：执行/不执行任务，停止信号任务，以及Conners持续性能测试第三版（CCPT）。结果表明，自我报告的冲动的每个维度与由三个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .10）和单个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .03）构成的潜在冲动变量即冲动行为之间的相关性较弱。CCPT中冲动行为的潜变量和佣金错误率与寻求感觉密切相关。但是，这种联系在控制了性别的影响后消失了。这些发现表明，自我报告和行为冲动的量度可能会评估不同的结构。结果表明，自我报告的冲动的每个维度与由三个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .10）和单个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .03）构成的潜在冲动变量即冲动行为之间的相关性较弱。CCPT中冲动行为的潜变量和佣金错误率与寻求感觉显着相关。但是，这种联系在控制了性别的影响后消失了。这些发现表明，自我报告和行为冲动的量度可能会评估不同的结构。结果表明，自我报告的冲动的每个维度与由三个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .10）和单个实验室任务的执行（均值r = .03）构成的潜在变量名为冲动行为之间的相关性较弱。CCPT中冲动行为的潜变量和佣金错误率与寻求感觉密切相关。但是，这种联系在控制了性别的影响后消失了。这些发现表明，自我报告和行为冲动的量度可能会评估不同的结构。CCPT中冲动行为的潜变量和佣金错误率与寻求感觉密切相关。但是，这种联系在控制了性别的影响后消失了。这些发现表明，自我报告和行为冲动的量度可能会评估不同的结构。CCPT中冲动行为的潜变量和佣金错误率与寻求感觉密切相关。但是，这种联系在控制了性别的影响后消失了。这些发现表明，自我报告和行为冲动的量度可能会评估不同的结构。
