Abstract

Impulsivity and cognitive function are essential for understanding behavioral regulation, particularly in relation to health-risk behaviors like substance use, physical activity, and academic performance. This study examined the factor structure underlying executive function in adolescents using the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale and NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery. We explored how parental monitoring moderates, and peer network health and perceived stress mediate, relationships between cognitive function and outcomes such as BMI, physical activity, and academic performance. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on 2228 observations identified a four-factor model (BIC = −97.92, RMSEA = 0.040, TLI = 0.936), validated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (CFI = 0.961, RMSEA = 0.055). Structural equation modeling (SEM) on 5902 observations showed that parental monitoring moderated Factor 1 (adaptive impulsivity) in relation to physical activity and academic performance, while peer network health mediated Factor 2 (emotional impulsivity) effects on BMI and physical activity. This model underscores the influence of peer relationships, parental involvement, and stress on cognitive, health, and academic outcomes, suggesting that interventions enhancing peer support, reducing stress, and promoting healthy behaviors may improve adolescent well-being.

执行功能的四因素模型:通过认知评估预测青少年的身体和学习成绩
冲动性和认知功能对于了解行为调节,尤其是与药物使用、体育锻炼和学习成绩等健康风险行为有关的行为调节至关重要。本研究使用 UPPS-P 冲动行为量表和美国国立卫生研究院工具箱认知测验,对青少年执行功能的基础因子结构进行了研究。我们探讨了认知功能与体重指数、体育锻炼和学习成绩等结果之间的关系,即父母的监督如何调节,以及同伴网络健康和感知压力如何起中介作用。对 2228 个观察结果进行的探索性因子分析(EFA)确定了一个四因子模型(BIC = -97.92,RMSEA = 0.040,TLI = 0.936),并通过确认性因子分析(CFA)进行了验证(CFI = 0.961,RMSEA = 0.055)。对 5902 个观测点进行的结构方程建模(SEM)显示,父母的监督调节了因子 1(适应性冲动)对体育锻炼和学习成绩的影响,而同伴网络健康则调节了因子 2(情绪冲动)对体重指数和体育锻炼的影响。这一模型强调了同伴关系、父母参与和压力对认知、健康和学业成绩的影响,表明加强同伴支持、减少压力和促进健康行为的干预措施可以改善青少年的福祉。

期刊介绍: The journal publishes theoretical and research papers on cognitive brain development, from infancy through childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. It covers neurocognitive development and neurocognitive processing in both typical and atypical development, including social and affective aspects. Appropriate methodologies for the journal include, but are not limited to, functional neuroimaging (fMRI and MEG), electrophysiology (EEG and ERP), NIRS and transcranial magnetic stimulation, as well as other basic neuroscience approaches using cellular and animal models that directly address cognitive brain development, patient studies, case studies, post-mortem studies and pharmacological studies.
