Impulsiveness has been the subject of much research, but little is known about the possible relationship between craniofacial anatomy and impulsiveness. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between one aspect of craniofacial structure (the angle of inclination of the forehead) and impulsiveness.
Photographs in profile were obtained from 131 volunteers who had been fined for driving at high speed and were undergoing a court-mandated driving license point-recovery course. They completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), the Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P), and Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (V). The angle of the slant of the forehead was measured with a photographic support and a protractor.
High positive concordance was found between forehead inclination and 14 out of the 15 impulsiveness factors studied.
The angle of inclination of the forehead was significantly associated with self-reported impulsiveness in this sample of traffic violators.
冲动一直是研究的主题,但对于颅面解剖结构与冲动之间的可能关系知之甚少。本研究旨在调查颅面结构的一个方面(额头倾斜角度)与冲动之间的关系。
从因高速驾驶而被罚款并正在接受法院强制驾驶执照扣分恢复课程的 131 名志愿者中获得侧面照片。他们完成了巴瑞特冲动量表(BIS-11)、冲动行为量表(UPPS-P)和祖克曼感觉寻求量表(V)。使用摄影支架和量角器测量额头的倾斜角度。
在前额倾斜度和研究的 15 个冲动因素中的 14 个之间发现了高度一致。
在该交通违规者样本中,额头倾斜角度与自我报告的冲动显著相关。
