Despite the widespread research work on suicidal ideation,cognitive distortion, impulsivity and depression from diverseperspectives, little research has directly examined the cognitive attributesunderlying impulsive behaviour in adults. Thus, an understanding ofcognitive distortions underlying the initiation and/or maintenance ofimpulsive behaviour is a vital prerequisite to the development ofsuccessful therapeutic interventions. It has been suggested thatindividuals with psychological problems have a tendency to makenegative interpretations and dysfunctional predictions of events. Itremains unclear how impulsive individuals interpret the situations thatmay contribute to their unplanned, rapid reactions with disregard to theconsequences of behavior.
