This study investigated neuroanatomic, genetic, cognitive, sociodemographic and emotional underpinnings of the Negative Urgency subscale of the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation-Seeking and Positive Urgency Impulsive Behavior Scale in a healthy developmental sample. The goal of the investigation is to contribute to the harmonisation of behavioural, brain and neurogenetic aspects of behavioural self-control. Three domains - (1) Demographic, developmental, psychiatric and cognitive ability; (2) Regional brain volumes (neurobiological); and (3) Genetic variability (single nucleotide polymorphisms) - were examined, and models with relevant predictor variables were selected. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and best subset regressions were used to identify sparse models predicting negative urgency scores, which revealed that variables related to emotional regulation and right cingulate volume, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms in and , were associated with negative urgency. Our results contribute to the construct and criterion validity of negative urgency and support the hypothesis that negative urgency is a result of a complex array of influences across domains whose integration furthers developmental psychopathology research.
本研究在一个健康发育样本中,调查了冲动行为量表中负性紧迫性子量表的神经解剖学、遗传学、认知、社会人口统计学和情感基础。该调查的目的是促进行为自我控制的行为、大脑和神经遗传学方面的协调统一。研究考察了三个领域:(1)人口统计学、发育、精神病学和认知能力;(2)脑区体积(神经生物学);(3)基因变异性(单核苷酸多态性),并选择了具有相关预测变量的模型。使用最小绝对收缩和选择算子以及最佳子集回归来识别预测负性紧迫性得分的稀疏模型,结果显示与情绪调节和右侧扣带回体积相关的变量,以及[具体基因名称1]和[具体基因名称2]中的单核苷酸多态性与负性紧迫性相关。我们的研究结果有助于负性紧迫性的结构效度和效标效度,并支持以下假设:负性紧迫性是多个领域复杂影响的结果,这些影响的整合推动了发展性精神病理学研究。
