Impulsivity appears to be best conceptualized as a multidimensional construct. For example, the UPPS-P model posits that there are five underlying facets of impulsivity. The present study examined the expression of the UPPS-P facets in daily life using experience sampling methodology. A specific goal of the study was to examine positive urgency, a facet added to the original UPPS model, and its convergence and divergence from the negative urgency facet.
A large nonclinical sample of young adults (n = 294) completed the UPPS-P scale and was signaled to complete questionnaires assessing daily affect, cognitions, sense of self, and impulsive behaviors eight times a day for 7 days.
Results indicated that the UPPS-P facets are associated with disruptions in affect, cognitions, and behavior in daily life. Furthermore, all of the UPPS-P facets were associated with impulsivity in daily life. Contrary to expectation, positive urgency was associated with negative affect rather than positive affect and had a profile indistinguishable from negative urgency.
These results generally support a four-factor model of multidimensional impulsivity with a general overall urgency factor instead of separate positive and negative urgency facets.
冲动似乎最好被概念化为一个多维结构。例如，UPPS-P 模型假设存在五种潜在的冲动特征。本研究使用经验采样方法在日常生活中考察了 UPPS-P 特征的表现。该研究的一个具体目标是检验原始 UPPS 模型中增加的积极冲动特征，以及其与消极冲动特征的收敛和发散。
一个由年轻成年人组成的大型非临床样本（n=294）完成了 UPPS-P 量表，并被提示在 7 天内每天 8 次完成评估日常情绪、认知、自我意识和冲动行为的问卷。
结果表明，UPPS-P 特征与日常生活中的情绪、认知和行为紊乱有关。此外，UPPS-P 的所有特征都与日常生活中的冲动行为有关。与预期相反，积极冲动与消极情绪而不是积极情绪有关，其特征与消极冲动无法区分。
这些结果普遍支持多维冲动的四因素模型，而不是单独的积极和消极冲动特征，具有一般的总体冲动因素。
