As the 64th volume in the prestigious Nebraska Series on
Motivation, this book focuses on impulsivity, a multi-faceted
concept that encompasses such phenomena as the inability to wait, a
tendency to act without forethought, insensitivity to consequences,
and/or an inability to inhibit inappropriate behaviors. Due to this
multi-faceted nature, it plays a critical role in a number of key
behavioral problems, including pathological gambling, overeating,
addiction, adolescent risk-taking, spread of sexually transmitted
diseases, criminal behavior, financial decision making, and
environmental attitudes. This broad and interdisciplinary scope has
historically resulted in separate subfields studying impulsivity in
relative isolation from one another. Therefore, a central
achievement of this volume is to convey an integrative exploration
of impulsivity. To provide a comprehensive and cohesive
understanding of impulsivity, this volume brings together eminent
scholars and rising researchers from different domains
(developmental psychology, neuroscience, animal cognition,
anthropology, addiction science), who use different techniques
(behavioral assays, imaging, endocrinology, genetics). Moreover, it
includes perspectives and analyses from the two primary types of
impulsivity: impulsive choice (or decision making) and impulsive
action (or disinhibition). The authors present expert analyses of
topics such as delayed gratification, discounting models, and
adaptive foraging decisions. Leveraging breadth of coverage and
renowned scholarship, Impulsivity: How Time and Risk Influence
Decision Making advances our understanding of this complex topic
and sheds light on novel research directions and potential future
collaborations.
