“…In Study 1, the correlation between head motion and impulsivity total score was calculated. Given the multi-dimensional property of impulsivity [22], [23], [24], we further investigated which components of impulsivity [20] mainly contributed to the significant association. To account for multiple testing with these multiple components, we used the Bonferroni correction and considered significant only components for which p < 0.05/6.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides valuable data for understanding the human mind and brain disorders, but in-scanner head motion introduces systematic and spurious biases. For example, differences in MRI measures (e.g., network strength, white matter integrity) between patient and control groups may be due to the differences in their head motion. To determine whether head motion is an important variable in itself, or just simply a confounding variable, we explored individual differences in psychological traits that may predispose some people to move more than others during an MRI scan. In the first two studies, we demonstrated in both children (N = 245) and adults (N = 581) that head motion, estimated from resting-state functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging, was reliably correlated with impulsivity scores. Further, the difference in head motion between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and typically developing children was largely due to differences in impulsivity. Finally, in the third study, we confirmed the observation that the regression approach, which aims to deal with motion issues by regressing out motion in the group analysis, would underestimate the effect of interest. Taken together, the present findings provide empirical evidence that links in-scanner head motion to psychological traits.

“…An exception is the Porteus Maze Test, which was presented in a few studies as a measure of intelligence. Because this assessment's appropriateness as an intelligence test is questionable, given its associations with impulsivity (Paulsen & Johnson, 1980) and potentially weak association with other IQ measures (Krikorian & Bartok, 1998), we excluded studies that used it as the sole measure of intelligence. We also excluded reports measuring correlates of intelligence such as working memory and digit span, as well as those using achievement tests, for reasons described above.…”

“…Consider In studies where psychometric and behavioral measures are both employed, weak or non-significant correlation between them are typically reported (Crean, de Wit & Richards, 2000;Gerbing, Ahadi, & Patton, 1987;Helmers, Young & Pihl, 1995;Lane et al, 2003;Malle & Neubauer, 1991;Milich & Kramer, 1984;Paulsen & Johnson, 1980;Mitchell, 1999;Reynolds et al, 2008;Reynolds, Ortengren, et al, 2006;Reynolds, Richards, et al, 2006;White et al 1994). Those significant correlations that do emerge do not appear to be differentially identified with behavioral and trait measures where congruence might be expected (Kirby, Petry & Bickel, 1999;Mobini, Grant, Kass & Yeomans, 2007;Swann, Bjork, Moeller & Dougherty, 2002).…”

Drawing on evolutionary, criminological, developmental, and personality theories, we predicted that sex differences would be most pronounced in risky activities with men demonstrating greater sensation seeking, greater reward sensitivity and lower punishment sensitivity. We predicted a small female advantage in effortful control.We analyzed 741 effect sizes from 277 studies, including psychometric and Shepherd, 1990). Men are more physically and verbally aggressive than women across data sources and nations (Archer, 2004(Archer, , 2009 Bettencourt & Miller, 1996; Eagly & Steffen, 1986; Hyde, 1986; Knight, Fabes & Higgins, 1996 Frank, 2000; Gershon & Gershon, 2002; Kessler et al., 2006; Moffitt, Caspi & Rutter, 2001).In all of these domains, impulsivity has been invoked as an explanatory variable. Sometimes impulsivity is embedded in a theory or model, but more often it Sex differences in impulsivity 4 appears as an independent variable in regression analyses along with other plausible explanatory candidates. It is surprisingly rare, however, that sex differences in social and psychological pathologies have been considered in relation to sex differences in impulsivity in society at large. The present study uses meta-analysis to examine whether there are average sex differences in unselected community samples across a range of psychometric and behavioral measures of impulsivity. We also examine whether, in these samples, variance in men's impulsivity scores is greater than women's. Such a finding could explain men's over-representation in extreme and problematic impulsive behaviors. (Though men would also be overrepresented at the left as well as the right tail of the distribution, low levels of impulsivity are unlikely to attract attention from educational, medical or judicial systems.)
