“…Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct, incorporating state and trait classifications, and a variety of associated behaviors . Despite agreement regarding the multifaceted perception of impulsivity, there is no consensus on classification . Further complicating its classification is the predisposition of impulsivity toward maladaptive, risky behavior relative to normal behavioral responses .…”

“…Despite agreement regarding the multifaceted perception of impulsivity, there is no consensus on classification . Further complicating its classification is the predisposition of impulsivity toward maladaptive, risky behavior relative to normal behavioral responses . Accordingly, measurements of impulsivity reflect the variability in definitions of the term and comprise various forms that range from self‐report assessments to behavioral measures and electrophysiological analyses (Table ) .…”

Impulsivity is strongly associated with substance use disorders (SUDs). Our review discusses impulsivity as an underlying vulnerability marker for SUDs, and treatment of co‐occurring impulsivity in SUDs. Three factors should be considered for the complex relationship between impulsivity and a SUD: (1) the trait effect of impulsivity, centering on decreased cognitive and response inhibition, (2) the state effect resulting from either acute or chronic substance use on brain structure and function, and (3) the genetic and environmental factors (e.g., age and sex) may influence impulsive behavior associated with SUDs. Both subjective and objective measures are used to assess impulsivity. Together, treatment developments (pharmacological, behavioral, and neurophysiological) should consider these clinically relevant dimensions assessed by a variety of measures, which have implications for treatment matching in individuals with SUD. Despite its heterogeneity, impulsivity is a marker associated with SUDs and may be understood as an imbalance of bottom‐up and top‐down neural systems. Further investigation of these relationships may lead to more effective SUD treatments.

“…Therefore, it is defensible to consider the relationship between food addiction and impulsivity. In a simplest way, impulsivity is inability to prevent responses in spite of their negative consequences (Bakhshani, 2014). Due to the disagreements of the definition of impulsivity there are several different perspectives to this term.…”

“…[7] Impulsivity in regards to psychopathology is the tendency to react in a manner that would not align with the behavior of individuals of similar abilities and knowledge. [8] Thus, impulsivity is associated with a myriad of negative consequences most notably aggression, antisocial behavior, poor treatment compliance, self-harm, and suicide. [9][10][11] Thus as a clinical construct impulsivity is highly predictive of a poor prognosis thus further emphasizing its clinical relevance.…”
