Note: When entered together, neither of the two urgency traits provided significant incremental validity over the other, although the two, as a set, provided incremental validity over the other three traits. When entered separately, each provided incremental validity over the three traits entered at step 1: negative urgency, b = .27, p < .01; positive urgency, b = .26, p < .01.
