abstract="OBJECTIVE: Suicide remains a public health problem within the United Kingdom (UK) and globally. Impulsivity is a key risk factor within the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model (IMV) of Suicide warranting further study. The current study applied a multi-dimensional impulsivity framework (UPPS-P) to differentiate suicidality subgroups within an IMV framework (i.e., no suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation only, and suicide attempt). Impulsivity subscales were evaluated as moderators of the suicidal ideation-future suicide attempt link. <br><br>METHOD: Adults living in the UK (N = 1027) completed an online survey addressing demographics, impulsivity, psychological distress, and lifetime suicidal behavior. We used analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression with simple slopes analyses to investigate study objectives. <br><br>RESULTS: Data analyses revealed that: (1) four impulsivity subtypes (negative urgency, positive urgency, lack of premeditation, sensation-seeking) differentially distinguished suicidal behavior groups; (b) negative urgency, positive urgency, and lack of premeditation were meaningfully associated with suicide outcomes, and (c) negative urgency served as a moderator of the suicidal ideation-future attempt link. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Urgency, regardless of positive or negative valence, is important for understanding differences in lifetime suicidal behavior. Sensation-seeking may play a protective role for direct suicidal behavior. Negative urgency may be the most prominent aspect of impulsivity when considered as an IMV moderator. <br><br>FINDINGS are contextualized with respect to impulsivity and IMV frameworks. Clinical implications involve accounting for negative urgency in suicide risk assessment and intervention.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
