In 10 of 15 analyses, CONT (vs. EXT) status was predicted by higher scores on measures of EC. For CONTs vs. COs, in 12 of 15 analyses, CONT (vs. CO) status was predicted by measures of EC. For impulsivity, 5 out of 6 comparisons of CONTs with EXTs and 4 out of 6 comparisons of CONTs with COs were significant (and 2 more analyses were nearly significant for the latter). EXT or CO status was consistently predicted by impulsivity, and there were many across-reporter effects.3,4
