Impulsivity Dimensions by Gender in Saudi Adults with ACE Exposure

Saudi Arabian adults (n=379) participated in a nationwide cross-sectional online survey measuring adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and five dimensions of impulsivity. The dataset, created by Saleh A. Alghamdi and last updated in May 2026, contains results with false discovery rate corrections and bootstrap confidence intervals. It includes demographic information and scores for Negative Urgency, Positive Urgency, Sensation Seeking, Lack of Premeditation, and Lack of Perseverance.

Use Cases

• Analyzing gender differences in ACE exposure based on reported emotional neglect and household mental illness rates
• Investigating correlations between ACEs and specific impulsivity dimensions like Negative Urgency
• Testing differential exposure versus differential vulnerability hypotheses using statistical interaction models
• Benchmarking impulsivity scores in a Saudi adult population for cross-cultural comparisons

Strengths

• Includes 379 participant records with gender breakdown (222 female, 157 male)
• Employs rigorous statistical methods: Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction and bootstrap confidence intervals (5,000 iterations)
• Measures five distinct impulsivity dimensions using the validated Short UPPS-P scale

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely summary-level data
