The UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P; Lynam et al., 2007) is a 59-item self-report scale, with responses ranging from 1 (agree strongly) to 4 (disagree strongly). The UPPS-P is designed to measure five separate dispositions to rash action (see Lynam et al., 2007). However, only the positive urgency (14 items; α = 0.91, M (SD) = 1.68 (0.44)) and the negative urgency (11 items; α = 0.85; M (SD) = 1.94 (0.42)) subscales were utilized in the present study. Items were recoded so that higher mean scores on the subscales represent higher levels of impulsive action.
