MEASURE REPOSITORY
UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale
The UPPS-P (Whiteside and Lynam, 2001; Cyders et al., 2007) is a 59-item self-report measure of trait impulsivity sensitive to five dimensions of impulsivity: negative urgency, (lack of) perseverance, (lack of) premeditation, sensation seeking, and positive urgency. Each item on the UPPS-P is rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (agree strongly) to 4 (disagree strongly).Related Article
