Understanding the construct of impulsivity and its relationship to alcohol use disorders (2010, background): “Fifth, the different dispositions have different concurrent and prospective external correlates (Whiteside et al. 2005; Anestis et al. 2007; Billieux et al. 2007; Cyders et al. 2007; Cyders & Smith 2007, 2008; Smith et al. 2007; Fried, Cyders & Smith 2008; Gay et al. 2008).”
Construct Validity: Advances in Theory and Methodology (2009, background): “The success of such efforts in the recent past bodes well for continued progress in the field as researchers study unidimensional constructs with meaningful test scores (Jang et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2007; Whiteside & Lynam 2001).”
Problematic Use of the Internet and Self-Regulation: A Review of the Initial Studies (2012, background): “Moreover, high urgency and low premeditation have also been associated with the occurrence of other behavioral addictions such as pathological gambling [67], compulsive buying [68], or problematic use of mobile phones [69].”
Differences and Similarities between Impulse Buying and Variety Seeking: A Personality‐based Perspective (2016, background): “…construct such as ‘Impulsive Sensation Seeking’ (Cloninger, Svrakic, & Prybeck, 1993; Eysenek, 1993; McDaniel & Mahan, 2008; Zuckerman, 1994; Zuckerman et al., 1993), while others treat impulsivity and sensation seeking as two distinct constructs (Smith et al., 2007; Whiteside & Lynam, 2001).”
Examination of a Short Version of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (2014, unknown): “Facets from the UPPS-P have been found account for different types and aspects of risky behaviors (Coskunpinar, Dir, & Cyders, 2013; Dir, Karyadi, & Cyders, 2013; Fischer, Smith, & Cyders, 2008; Glenn & Klonsky, 2010; Smith et al., 2007).”
Emotion-based Dispositions to Rash Action: Positive and Negative Urgency (2008, unknown): “…together with the urgency traits, it consistently predicts, both concurrently and prospectively, the frequency of engaging in risky behaviors (such as drinking and gambling), but it does not relate to problem levels of involvement in those behaviors (Cyders et al., 2007b; Smith et al., 2007a).”
Construct Validity of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire in Meditating and Nonmeditating Samples (2008, background): “Several authors have argued that assessment of complex constructs at the facet level is essential for clarifying their relationships with other variables (Schneider, Hough, & Dunnette, 1996; Smith et al., 2007; Smith, Fischer, & Fister, 2003; Smith & McCarthy, 1995).”
