Impulsivity in the prediction of suicidal behavior in adolescent populations

摘要: Impulsivity has been identified as a key factor in risk of suicidal behavior adolescent and adult patients. However, lack consensus about the definition impulsivity led to difficulty its measurement. self-report scales exhibit low intercorrelations, are subject response bias, incorporate multiple subfactors. Performance tests may be less sensitive biases, well more precise measures dimensions impulsivity, but each test alone does not provide comprehensive measure trait. Assessing child groups presents additional methodological problems, such an overlap between limited impulse control due developmental factors psychopathology. A approach assessing is suggested.
