Impulsivity is commonly conflated with novelty seeking, but these traits are conceptually independent and hold different predictive implications. Using a multi-informant, longitudinal design, we examined childhood inhibitory control, as well as adolescent impulsivity and novelty seeking, as predictors of aggression in a sample of 976 twins. Lower childhood inhibitory control and higher adolescent impulsivity predicted both overt and relational aggression in regression analyses that accounted for sex, puberty status, age, and socioeconomic status. As predicted, novelty seeking did not predict aggression, a finding that supports its independence from impulsivity.
冲动性通常与寻求新奇感相混淆，但这些特质在概念上是独立的，且具有不同的预测意义。我们采用多 informant、纵向设计，在一个包含 976 对双胞胎的样本中，研究了儿童期抑制控制以及青少年期的冲动性和寻求新奇感，将其作为攻击行为的预测因素。在考虑了性别、青春期状态、年龄和社会经济地位的回归分析中，较低的儿童期抑制控制和较高的青少年期冲动性预测了公开攻击和关系攻击。正如所预测的，寻求新奇感并未预测攻击行为，这一发现支持了它与冲动性的独立性。
