on antisocial personality traits had significantly high scores on all UPPS scales (urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking), while the individuals low in antisocial personality traits and controls only had significant elevations on the Urgency subscale. However, when analyses were conducted controlling for rates of psychopathology, no differences in impulsivity were found among groups, suggesting that impulsivity may be more closely related to psychopathology than alcohol abuse alone. These results indicate the importance of considering concurrent psychopathology for understanding the link between impulsivity and AUDs.
