Integration of impulsivity and positive mood to predict risky behavior: Development and validation of a measure of positive urgency

Article Abstract:

Three studies are conducted to develop and validate a measure of the tendency to act rashly in response to positive affective states (positive urgency). The construct of positive urgency is shown to be different from impulsivity-like constructs, its relations with risky behaviors are tested, as also its ability to differentiate among disordered groups.

Clarifying the role of impulsivity in bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

Research with a group of women college students showed a lack of planning was not a significant personality trait in those with bulimic symptoms. However, the tendency to act impulsively when confronted with negative experiences was correlated with bulimic behavior, suggesting a sense of urgency is a risk factor for bulimia nervosa.
