Abstract

The present study aimed to develop and validate a multidimensional measure of state impulsivity. Drawing on existing theoretical and empirical work, we proposed a three-factor structure of state impulsivity consisting of SPontaneity, Urgency, and Rash action (SPUR). We validated this tool using ecological momentary assessment data from 274 participants, collected over 6 days. Multilevel factor analyses confirmed a correlated three-factor structure, though no support for a higher-order impulsivity factor at the within- or between-person levels was found. The SPUR scales demonstrated strong reliability, convergent validity with established trait and state measures of impulsivity, as well as criterion validity in predicting alcohol use, drug use, and self-control. Importantly, the scales showed incremental validity in predicting certain outcomes (drug use and self-control) over and above the most commonly used alternative state measure. These findings provide preliminary evidence that the SPUR is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the dimensions of state impulsivity.

一时冲动：状态冲动性多维测量的发展和初步验证。

本研究旨在发展和验证状态冲动性的多维测量。在现有理论和实证研究的基础上，提出了一种由自发性、紧迫性和草率行为（SPUR）组成的三因素状态冲动性结构。我们使用274名参与者在6天内收集的生态瞬时评估数据验证了该工具。多层次因素分析证实了一个相关的三因素结构，尽管没有发现高阶冲动性因素在人内部或人与人之间的水平上的支持。SPUR量表显示出较强的信度，与已建立的冲动性特征和状态测量的收敛效度，以及预测酒精使用，药物使用和自我控制的标准效度。重要的是，这些量表在预测某些结果（吸毒和自我控制）方面比最常用的替代状态测量方法更有效。这些发现提供了初步的证据，表明SPUR是评估状态冲动性维度的可靠和有效的工具。

期刊介绍： Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
