Abstract

Under heightened emotional states, individuals are more inclined to engage in ill-considered or rash actions than at other times. The authors present evidence for the existence of 2 related traits called positive and negative urgency. The traits refer to individual differences in the disposition to engage in rash action when experiencing extreme positive and negative affect, respectively. The authors provide evidence that these traits are distinct from other dispositions toward rash action and that they play distinct roles in predicting problem levels of involvement in behaviors such as alcohol consumption, binge eating, drug use, and risky sexual behavior. The authors identify facilitative conditions for the emergence of the urgency traits from neuroscience. Certain gene polymorphisms are associated with low levels of serotonin and high levels of dopamine; that pattern of neurotransmitter activity in a brain system linking the orbitofrontal cortex and the amygdala appears to facilitate the development of positive and negative urgency. The authors discuss the implications of this theory.

Unlike sensation seeking, negative urgency is more closely linked to emotional dysregulation and reactive aggression.
“Unlike sensation seeking, which predicts risk-taking across neutral or positive emotional states, negative urgency is more closely linked to emotional dysregulation and reactive aggression (Cyders And Smith 2008), providing a precise mechanistic account of how affective instability fosters maladaptive alcohol use.”
From Decoding the bidirectional links between alcohol misuse and aggression: toward a unified translational framework (2026) · cites this paper as Cyders And Smith 2008
The Summary (page unavailable) distinguishes negative urgency—rash action during extreme negative affect—from sensation seeking, and the Differential correlates section links negative urgency to distress and problem-level risky behavior. The passages do not establish a specific link to reactive aggression or say that sensation seeking predicts risk-taking in neutral or positive emotional states. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
Negative urgency has been shown to mediate the association between irritability, reactive aggression, and excessive drinking.
“Negative urgency has been shown to mediate the association between irritability, reactive aggression, and excessive drinking (Cyders And Smith 2008; Settles et al. 2012; Coskunpinar et al. 2013; Smith And Cyders 2016; VanderVeen et al. 2016).”
From Decoding the bidirectional links between alcohol misuse and aggression: toward a unified translational framework (2026) · cites this paper as Cyders And Smith 2008
In “Differential correlates of the distinct traits” (page not supplied), the paper reports that negative urgency predicts drinking-related problems and that neuroticism ceased to predict problem drinking when negative urgency was included in the model. It does not report that negative urgency mediates an association involving irritability and reactive aggression; those terms appear in separate discussions, not in that finding. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
The findings are unlikely to be explained by negative urgency.
“These findings are also unlikely to be attributable to negative urgency (Cyders & Smith, 2008), whereby individuals tend to engage in rash, illadvised actions when distressed, as other performance indices (e.g. latencies and response style effects) were not abnormal under punishment.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
