These traits have been theorized to be important in many research domains, and years of research have further validated the importance of this constellation of traits. This book addresses some of the most up-to-date approaches to research with impulsivity and reviews the current state of the research concerning the role of impulsivity-related constructs for a wide range of psychological outcomes, including brain waves, addictive behaviors, neurobiological underpinnings and sleep disturbances.
