Impulsivity is a personality trait with broad health implications. Urgency is a facet of impulsivity defined as the tendency to engage in rash action when experiencing strong emotions. Thus, as defined, urgency is a dynamic, if … then process. However, urgency has mostly been studied using cross-sectional dispositional scales and laboratory-based tasks. Recent work modeling urgency dynamically as the covariance of momentary emotion and impulsivity has found no associations with trait scores of urgency and impulsivity. We propose that the co-occurrence only of intense instances of emotion and impulsivity may better match urgency's conceptualization. In exploratory analyses of ambulatory assessment data ( = 342), we found a significant correlation between dispositional impulsivity and intense emotion-impulsivity co-occurrences, but not with their momentary covariance. We replicated these results in five preregistered ambulatory assessment studies (total = 844). These findings have implications for the measurement of momentary urgency, and for the articulation of other intense and dynamic events in the moment.

冲动性是一种对健康有广泛影响的人格特质。紧迫感是冲动性的一个方面，被定义为在经历强烈情绪时倾向于采取轻率行动。因此，按照定义，紧迫感是一个动态的“如果……那么”过程。然而，对紧迫感的研究大多使用横断面的特质量表和基于实验室的任务。最近将紧迫感动态建模为瞬时情绪和冲动性协方差的研究发现，它与紧迫感和冲动性的特质分数没有关联。我们提出，只有强烈的情绪和冲动性同时出现，可能更符合紧迫感的概念。在对动态评估数据（N = 342）的探索性分析中，我们发现特质冲动性与强烈的情绪 - 冲动性同时出现之间存在显著相关性，但与它们的瞬时协方差无关。我们在五项预先注册的动态评估研究（总计N = 844）中重复了这些结果。这些发现对瞬时紧迫感的测量以及对当下其他强烈和动态事件的阐述具有启示意义。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
