in examining how other types of PDs and Axis I disorders may also influence the relationship between impulsivity and AUDs. The reviewed studies also illustrated how co-occurring factors, such as violence and aggression, may shed light on aspects of the relationship between impulsivity and AUDs. Specific aspects of impulsivity, including attention and motor control, have been shown to most closely explain the high rates of physical aggression found in alcohol dependent men (Parrott & Giancola, 2006). Further work is needed in this area to build on the heterogeneous designs and methodologies of studies examining the role of violence and aggression, as well as to more clearly elucidate gender differences.
