Negative urgency, rash action during negative mood states, is a strong predictor of risky behavior. However, its developmental antecedents remain largely unstudied. The current study tested whether childhood temperament served as a developmental antecedent to adolescent negative urgency. Participants (N = 239) were from a longitudinal study oversampled for a family history of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Negative emotionality (anger and sadness reactivity) and effortful control were measured in childhood (5–8) and negative urgency in adolescence (13–18). Childhood anger reactivity was uniquely related to later negative urgency above and beyond sadness reactivity. Effortful control was not related to later negative urgency; however, a latent variable capturing the shared variance between childhood effortful control and anger reactivity was related to later negative urgency.

消极的紧迫感，消极情绪状态下的轻率行动，是危险行为的一个强有力的预测因素。然而，它的发展前因在很大程度上仍未得到研究。目前的研究测试了童年气质是否是青少年消极紧迫感的发展前因。参与者（N = 239) 来自对酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 家族史进行过度抽样的纵向研究。消极情绪（愤怒和悲伤反应）和努力控制在童年（5-8）和青春期消极紧迫感（13-18）进行了测量。童年的愤怒反应与后来的消极紧迫性有着独特的关系，超出了悲伤的反应。努力控制与后来的消极紧迫感无关；然而，捕捉童年努力控制和愤怒反应之间的共同差异的潜在变量与后来的消极紧迫性有关。
