title: [A study of the relationship between a self-report measure and a behavioral measure of impulsive behavior].
abstract: The measures used in previous studies did not consider the situation where an individual exhibits impulsive behavior. The present research examines the relationship between self-reported measures and behavioral measures of impulsive abandonment and panic behavior in a problem-solving situation. The self Impulsive Behavior Questionnaire was the self-reported measure of the impulsive behavior tendency. The 91 undergraduate participants were grouped based on this score (high, n = 31; middle, n = 33; low, n = 27) were used. The behavioral measures were the correct detection and commission errors on the Continuous Performance Test. The result showed that the high impulsive group made a significantly higher number of commission errors than did the low group. The findings of this study support a consistent relationship between behavioral and self-reported measures.
