“…Self-reports for different facets of impulsivity were completed at ages 15 and 18 for the younger cohort and at ages 18 and 25 for the older cohort. We used the Adaptive and Maladaptive Impulsivity Scale (Eensoo et al, 2007;Laas et al, 2010) with subscales measuring Fast decision-making and Excitement seeking (functional or adaptive impulsivity), and Disinhibition and Thoughtlessness (dysfunctional or maladaptive impulsivity).…”

Neuropeptide S and its receptor NPSR1 are involved in the regulation of arousal, attention and anxiety. We examined whether the NPSR1 gene functional polymorphism Asn¹⁰⁷Ile (rs324981, A>T) influences personality, impulsivity, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related symptoms in a population-representative sample, and whether any eventual associations depend on age, sex, family relations and stressful life events (SLE). We used self-reports or teachers' ratings for both the younger (n=593) and older (n=583) cohort of the longitudinal Estonian Children Personality, Behaviour and Health Study. Males with the TT genotype displayed more ADHD-related symptoms. Adaptive impulsivity and Extraversion increased the most from age 18 to 25. While highest increases were observed in AA men, TT women exhibited the largest decreases. For participants with the AA genotype, Warmth in family was inversely associated with Neuroticism, and positively associated with Extraversion and Adaptive impulsivity. High exposure to SLE increased impulsivity and ADHD scores in TT genotype subjects. We conclude that the NPSR1 A/T polymorphism is associated with impulsivity, ADHD symptoms and personality, mirroring the activity- and anxiety-mediating role of NPSR1. Heterozygous individuals were the least sensitive to environmental factors, whereas subjects with the AA genotype and TT genotype reacted to different types of environmental adversities.

Type of publicationArticle ( Abstract A consumer survey conducted in 2006 (n = 419), and therefore after the rst conrmed BSE cases in North America in 2003, employs attribute-based choice experiments for a cross-country comparison of consumers' valuation of credence attributes associated with beef steak labels; specically a guarantee that beef was tested for BSE, a guarantee that the steaks were produced without genetically modied organisms (GMO), and a guarantee that beef steaks were produced without growth hormones and antibiotics. Considering consumers' socio-economic characteristics, the results suggest that consumers in Montana (U.S.) and Alberta (Canada) are signicantly heterogeneous in their valuation of the above attributes, although consumers' relative valuation of these process attributes does not appear to have changed since the 2003 BSE crisis in each region. Alberta consumers place a signicant valuation on beef tested for BSE, which is striking because Canada's current legal environment does not permit testing and labeling of such beef by private industry participants. Montana consumers' valuation was found highest for a guarantee that the steaks were produced without GMO. Effective supply-chain responses to consumers' valuation of credence attributes, for example in the form of labeling, should therefore take consumers' heterogeneity into account.

“…Different facets of impulsivity (Fast decision making, Excitement seeking, Disinhibition, Thoughtlessness) were self-reported at ages 15 and 18 using the Adaptive and Maladaptive Impulsivity Scale (AMIS), previously described by Eensoo et al (2007). AMIS is a combined impulsivity questionnaire based on Dickman impulsivity inventory (Dickman 1990) and impulsivity-related subscales of the NEO personality questionnaire (Impulsiveness is a subscale of NEO Neuroticism and Excitement seeking is a subscale of NEO Extraversion; Costa and McCrae 1989).…”

A functional NOS1 promoter polymorphism interacts with adverse environment on functional and dysfunctional impulsivity

This study provides further evidence that short alleles of NOS1 ex1f-VNTR go along with impulsive behavior. In the absence of adverse environmental conditions, this may lead to a beneficial effect as functional forms of impulsivity are affected. This however is reversed under negative conditions, as dysfunctional impulsivity is increased under these circumstances. This data provides evidence that NOS1 ex1f-VNTR is subject to balancing selection potentially explaining persistence of the risk allele in the population.
