Note. RBQ Frequency = frequency of past-year risky behaviors; Urgency = negative urgency or positive urgency on the UPPS-P; DERS Impulse = difficulties controlling impulsive behaviors when upset on the DERS; DIPD Item 85 = clinically-relevant pattern of risky behaviors on the Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders.
