DSM impulsivity and DSM inattention are derived from the Conners Parent Rating Scale or Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales subscales. Delay discounting is derived from the percent of smaller sooner choices. Present hedonism is derived from the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory present hedonism, and future orientation is derived from the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory future orientation. Differences in degrees of freedom across measures reflect missing data.

ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; BIS, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale; TD, typically developing.
