Abstract
Impulsivity, as a multidimensional concept, is often characterized as impatience, acting without aforethought, indifference to the consequences of one's behavior, or the inability to control inappropriate behavior. As a result, impulsivity can be measured with self-report questionnaires or using behavioral methods, while the joint use of these approaches has been utilized only in recent research.
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the preliminary results of the analyses of impulsivity in offenders convicted of violent crimes with a history of repeated aggressive attacks (including robbery, murder, and attempted murder). The outcomes of this research highlight the importance to differentiate impulsivity according to the definitions of various subtypes and domains of impulsivity examined by each method, which will also be the subject of discussion for practical use in the future.
