Abstract

There is inconsistency in the measurement of impulsivity resulting from the diversity in its conceptualization. We aimed to develop a revised measure based on the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking - Positive Urgency (UPPS-P) model (i.e., TRUE Multidimensional Impulsivity Scale; TRUE-MIS) considering the limitations and strengths of the existing measures. We conceptualized impulsivity as a personality trait referring to the inability to restrain one’s urges without thinking about the future consequences in various contexts. A total of 535 adults (262 females, M = 34.1, SD = 12.7) participated in Study 1. Principal component analyses indicated a four-factor structure (internal urgency, social urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance) with satisfactory internal consistency and validity evidence by significant relations with self-control. Confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2 confirmed the factor structure obtained in Study 1. Hierarchical linear regression analyses provided further validity evidence through establishing differential links between the subscales and Big Five personality traits, emotion regulation, depression, anxiety, and smartphone addiction in a sample of 556 adults (368 females, M = 24.0, SD = 7.4). Overall, TRUE-MIS is a valid and reliable measure of impulsivity addressing the arguments regarding the conceptual structure of the construct.

摘要

由于其概念化的多样性，冲动性的测量存在不一致。考虑到局限性，我们旨在基于紧迫感、预谋（缺乏）、毅力（缺乏）、寻求感觉 - 积极紧迫感 (UPPS-P) 模型（即 TRUE 多维冲动量表；TRUE-MIS）制定修订后的措施现有措施的优势。我们将冲动性概念化为一种人格特质，指的是在不考虑各种情况下的未来后果的情况下无法抑制自己的冲动。共有 535 名成年人（262 名女性，M = 34.1，SD = 12.7）参与了研究 1。主成分分析表明了一个四因素结构（内部紧迫感、社会紧迫感、缺乏预谋、和缺乏毅力）与自我控制的显着关系具有令人满意的内部一致性和有效性证据。研究 2 中的验证性因素分析证实了研究 1 中获得的因素结构。分层线性回归分析通过在样本中建立分量表与大五人格特质、情绪调节、抑郁、焦虑和智能手机成瘾之间的差异联系，提供了进一步的有效性证据556 名成人（368 名女性，M = 24.0，SD = 7.4）。总的来说，TRUE-MIS 是一种有效且可靠的冲动测量方法，解决了关于结构的概念结构的争论。分层线性回归分析通过在 556 名成年人（368 名女性，M = 24.0，SD = 7.4）样本中建立分量表与大五人格特质、情绪调节、抑郁、焦虑和智能手机成瘾之间的差异联系，提供了进一步的有效性证据。总的来说，TRUE-MIS 是一种有效且可靠的冲动测量方法，解决了关于结构的概念结构的争论。分层线性回归分析通过在 556 名成年人（368 名女性，M = 24.0，SD = 7.4）样本中建立分量表与大五人格特质、情绪调节、抑郁、焦虑和智能手机成瘾之间的差异联系，提供了进一步的有效性证据。总的来说，TRUE-MIS 是一种有效且可靠的冲动测量方法，解决了关于结构的概念结构的争论。
