Impulsivity in persons with paraplegia and persistently low QoL has seldom been probed but could be targeted with cognitive behavioral therapies. OBJECTIVE: Determine how task-assessed and self-report impulsivity relate to quality of life (QoL) in adults with paraplegia. METHODS: In a preliminary study, 33 adults with paraplegia after traumatic SCI were administered verbal interviews on QoL from the PROMIS item bank at baseline and at six-month follow-up, along with several computerized metrics of impulsivity at baseline. RESULTS: A cluster of (n\u200a=\u200a10) participants characterized by high levels of negative affect and low levels of resilience and life satisfaction across both baseline and follow-up showed significantly greater negative urgency impulsivity (p\u200a=\u200a0.007) as well as significantly lower mindfulness and self-care in some domains (all p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.05), compared to the cluster of participants (n\u200a=\u200a23) who showed higher life satisfaction and resilience. Behavioral metrics of delay discounting and rapid-response (motoric) impulsivity did not significantly differ (all p\u200a&gt;\u200a0.05) between the two clusters of participants. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that novel interventions that reduce trait impulsivity in other disorders could be applied to potentially reduce risk for reduced self-care and QoL in individuals with paraplegia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/nre-220115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]],"date-time":"2022-08-09T11:07:37Z","timestamp":1660043257000},"page":"489-497","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impulsivity
