摘要

To enhance understanding of how impulsivity relates to self-presentation behavior, we proposed how emotion-based (i.e., Urgency) and cognitive-based (i.e., Lack of Perseverance [LPV] and Lack of Premeditation [LP]) impulsivity relate to various self-presentation tactics. Essentially, we proposed that Urgency (vs. LPV or LP) would have stronger positive relations to egotistical/opportunistic self-presentation tactics and that relations between Urgency and these tactics will be accentuated at higher levels of LP. A sample of US adults (N = 446; Mage = 46.10; 51% female; 78.0% White) completed the Self-Presentation Tactics Scale (Lee et al., Personality and Individual Differences, 26(4), 701–722, 1999) to measure use of various self-presentation tactics and the UPPS-P (Lynam et al., 2006) to measure LPV, LP, and Urgency. Overall, Urgency, LPV, and LP generally related to enhanced use of egotistical/opportunistic self-presentation tactics and reduced use of virtuous self-presentation tactics. These effects varied between small to large. As anticipated, Urgency (vs. LPV or LP) generally had stronger relations to the egotistical/opportunistic self-presentation tactics; and, as expected, relations between Urgency and several of these tactics were enhanced at higher levels of LP. Such interactive effects tended to be small. The data provide a more precise understanding of how impulsivity influences self-presentation, highlight the importance of considering impulsivity as a multi-faceted construct, and contribute to understanding how impulsivity may influence maladaptive behavior.
