Publication Metadata only When the UPPS-P model of impulsivity meets a revised approach: the development and validation of the TRUE Multidimensional Impulsivity Scale(Routledge, 2023) Department of Psychology;Department of International Relations; Türkmen, İrem; Rodoplu, Nilay; Üner, Beril Simay; Esmer, Şeref Can; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Usta, Berivan Ece; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and HumanitiesThere is inconsistency in the measurement of impulsivity resulting from the diversity in its conceptualization. We aimed to develop a revised measure based on the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking - Positive Urgency (UPPS-P) model (i.e., TRUE Multidimensional Impulsivity Scale;TRUE-MIS) considering the limitations and strengths of the existing measures. We conceptualized impulsivity as a personality trait referring to the inability to restrain one’s urges without thinking about the future consequences in various contexts. A total of 535 adults (262 females, M = 34.1, SD = 12.7) participated in Study 1. Principal component analyses indicated a four-factor structure (internal urgency, social urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance) with satisfactory internal consistency and validity evidence by significant relations with self-control. Confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2 confirmed the factor structure obtained in Study 1. Hierarchical linear regression analyses provided further validity evidence through establishing differential links between the subscales and Big Five personality traits, emotion regulation, depression, anxiety, and smartphone addiction in a sample of 556 adults (368 females, M = 24.0, SD = 7.4). Overall, TRUE-MIS is a valid and reliable measure of impulsivity addressing the arguments regarding the conceptual structure of the construct. © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Publication Metadata only When the upps-p model of impulsivity meets a revised approach: the development and validation of the true multidimensional impulsivity scale(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Türkmen, İrem; Rodoplu, Nilay; Üner, Beril Simay; Esmer, Şeref Can; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Usta, Berivan Ece; Undergraduate Student; Undergraduate Student; Undergraduate Student; Master Student; Teaching Faculty; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; 205807; 201110There is inconsistency in the measurement of impulsivity resulting from the diversity in its conceptualization.

Turkish is a sound symbolically rich language that allows flexible use of such words in different linguistic forms. the current study examined Turkish-speaking parents' use of sound symbolic words to their 14- and 20-month-olds and the concurrent and longitudinal relations between parents' sound symbolic input and infants' vocabulary knowledge. Thirty-four (n = 34) infants were observed at Time-1 (M-age = 14.23 months, SD = 1.11) and Time-2 (M-age = 20.30 months, SD = 1.24) during free play sessions with their parents to examine parental input. infants' vocabulary knowledge was assessed by a parental report. Both the quantity and quality of parental sound symbolic input changed between 14 and 20 months of age. Furthermore, infants' earlier vocabulary knowledge at 14 months negatively predicted parents' later sound symbolic input at 20 months. Last, parents' sound symbolic input was positively and concurrently associated with 14-month-olds' vocabulary knowledge but was negatively and concurrently associated with 20-month-olds' vocabulary levels. these findings suggest an early interaction between infants' exposure to sound symbolic input and their vocabulary development.
