and laboratory-based measures of impulsivity (Dick et al., 2010). Interestingly, recent studies suggest that different aspects of impulsivity appear to be differentially related to different aspects of alcohol use (Smith et al., 2007). Yet, despite growing recognition that impulsivity is a heterogeneous construct (Lejuez et al., 2010), the broad term ‘impulsivity’ (Hamidovic et al., 2009; Racine et al., 2009) continues to be used in the literature in reference to this large variety of scales and dimensions, further contributing to its conceptualization as a unitary phenomenon.
