A multimethod, multisource assessment of impulsivity was conducted in a sample of more than 400 boys who were members of a longitudinal study of the development of antisocial behavior. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the 11 different impulsivity measures revealed two impulsivity factors: Cognitive and Behavioral. Cognitive and behavioral impulsivity had similar correlations with socioeconomic status. Cognitive impulsivity was more strongly related to IQ than was behavioral impulsivity. Behavioral impulsivity was more strongly related to delinquency at ages 10 and 12-13 than was cognitive impulsivity. Consistent with theoretical prediction, our results also indicate that behavioral impulsivity was especially related to serious delinquency that is stable over time.
对400多名男孩进行了多方法、多源冲动性评估，这些男孩是反社会行为发展纵向研究的参与者。对11种不同冲动性测量方法进行探索性和验证性因素分析，发现了两个冲动性因素：认知冲动性和行为冲动性。认知冲动性和行为冲动性与社会经济地位的相关性相似。认知冲动性与智商的相关性比行为冲动性更强。在10岁以及12至13岁时，行为冲动性与犯罪的相关性比认知冲动性更强。与理论预测一致，我们的结果还表明，行为冲动性尤其与随时间稳定的严重犯罪有关。
