Little is known about whether different manifest measures of impulsivity and compulsivity (behavior, personality, and cognition) map onto underlying latent traits; and if so, their inter-relationship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291717002185_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 576 adults were recruited using media advertisements.

Future work should examine the neurobiological and neurochemical underpinnings of these latent traits; and explore whether they can be used as candidate treatment targets. The findings have implications for diagnostic classification systems, suggesting that combining categorical and dimensional approaches may be valuable and clinically relevant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291717002185","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,14]],"date-time":"2017-08-14T09:22:15Z","timestamp":1502702535000},"page":"810-821","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["Latent traits of impulsivity and compulsivity: toward dimensional psychiatry"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"S.
