Note. Self-report and behavioral tasks hypothesized to assess the same facet of impulsivity share the same subscript. Bottom left corner displays convergent validity correlations (monotrait-heteromethod), top right corner displays discriminant validity correlations (heterotrait-heteromethod). SD = Standard Deviation. URG = UPPS - negative urgency; PER = UPPS - lack of perseverance; SS = UPPS - sensation seeking; PRE = UPPS - lack of premediation; IMT = immediate memory task; GOST = go stop impulsivity paradigm; MTT = mirror tracing task; BART = balloon analogue risk task. SKIP = single key impulsivity paradigm.
