Emotion-based impulsivity has emerged as an important transdiagnostic risk factor for both internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. However, it is unclear how this dynamic process unfolds within individuals. We measured urgency within-persons as the momentary association between impulsivity and contemporaneous negative and positive affect in 4 ecological momentary assessment samples (N = 233[16,202 observations]; N = 302[11,360]; N = 311[17,517]; N = 291[20,297]) that span clinical, community, and student populations. Based on reflexive responding to emotion (RRE) and urgency frameworks, we hypothesized a) that significant individual differences in the dynamic association between affect and impulsivity would emerge, and b) that individual differences in positive and negative urgency pathways would be associated with externalizing and internalizing psychopathology. Within-person associations between negative affect and impulsivity consistently emerged; however, the association between positive affect and impulsivity was inconsistent across samples. Although average effects were small, significant individual differences existed in both urgency pathways. Consistent with prior studies, within-person urgency pathways were unassociated with global or dispositional measures of impulsivity. Contrary to expectation, within-person urgency was also unassociated with between-person measures of either internalizing or externalizing psychopathology. Yet, robust associations were seen between the same measures and average levels of momentary impulsivity and negative affect. We discuss results in terms of their relevance to both urgency and RRE frameworks and propose future directions to help disentangle emotion-based impulsivity and psychopathology in the moment.

基于情绪的冲动性已成为内化和外化精神病理学的一个重要的跨诊断风险因素。然而，尚不清楚这一动态过程在个体内部是如何展开的。我们在4个生态瞬时评估样本（N = 233[16,202次观察]；N = 302[11,360次]；N = 311[17,517次]；N = 291[20,297次]）中测量了个体内部的紧迫性，这些样本涵盖临床、社区和学生群体，将其作为冲动性与同时期的消极和积极情绪之间的瞬时关联。基于对情绪的反射性反应（RRE）和紧迫性框架，我们假设：a）情绪与冲动性之间的动态关联会出现显著的个体差异；b）积极和消极紧迫性途径的个体差异将与外化和内化精神病理学相关。消极情绪与冲动性之间的个体内部关联始终存在；然而，积极情绪与冲动性之间的关联在各样本中并不一致。尽管平均效应较小，但在两种紧迫性途径中都存在显著的个体差异。与先前的研究一致，个体内部的紧迫性途径与冲动性的总体或倾向性测量无关。与预期相反，个体内部的紧迫性也与内化或外化精神病理学的个体间测量无关。然而，在相同的测量与瞬时冲动性和消极情绪的平均水平之间发现了强有力的关联。我们根据研究结果与紧迫性和RRE框架的相关性进行了讨论，并提出了未来的研究方向，以帮助当下理清基于情绪的冲动性与精神病理学之间的关系。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
