BIS-11 sub-scales contribute equally to apathy and impulsivity. (a) The correlation matrix of the sub-scale scores of the UPPS-P, BIS-11 and AES questionnaires showed positive correlations only (Dataset 3, n=809 complete observations). Significant pairwise correlations are shown in bold (Bonferroni-corrected). The black square highlights cross-questionnaire associations. (b) Factor decomposition (EFA) of this matrix uncovered dissociable, anti-correlated (r=-0.51), “Apathy” and “Impulsivity” factors. BIS-11 sub-scales contributed equally to both factors. (c) The network plot showed a characteristic isosceles clustering. More highly correlated (positively or negatively) appear closer together and are joined by stronger paths (non-significant paths removed). Paths are also coloured by their sign (red for positive and blue negative). Ellipses are drawn around the sub-scores included in a factor.
