Individual differences in impulsivity and need for cognition as potential risk or resilience factors of diabetes self-management and glycemic control

Abstract: Objective Impulsivity is marked by insufficient reflection and forethought, whereas Need for Cognition (NFC) also referred to as cognitive motivation or intellectual engagement is marked by elaborated thinking. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of these personality traits as resilience or risk factors, respectively, in diabetes self-management and glycaemic control.

“…Higher self-efficacy would be associated with increased self-care and management understanding, as well as fewer management problems and perceived barriers to care. Self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between impulsivity and diabetes self-care, similar to previous research [ 18 ]. Lastly, differences in impulsivity (DD and BIS-11), self-efficacy, and self-care between individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes compared to those diagnosed with prediabetes were also tested for.…”

“…Resilience is a positive predictor of self-management in patients with chronic diseases (51,52). Resilient patients are prone to adopt more self-management behaviors to achieve disease control (53,54). Mediating effects between psychosocial burden and physical outcomes have been shown for various positive personality traits.…”
