Note: Impulsivity = Impulsivity scale from the Eysenck Impulsivity – Venturesomeness questionnaire; harm avoidance = Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire harm avoidance scale; intelligence = Shipley Institute of Living Scale estimates of IQ; word span = Operation-Word span test; rate k is the estimated delay discounting parameter.

a

Significant main effect of CCD, p < .05.

b

Significant main effect of AD, p < .05.

c

Significant CCD × AD interaction, p < .05.
