Abstract

The aime was to examine the factor structure, reliability and to obtain preliminary parameters of the Brazilian adaptation of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale, a widely self-report measure used to assess impulsive behavior, in research and clinical setting. The scale is composed of 59 items assessing five factors of impulsivity: (1) positive urgency, (2) negative urgency, (3) lack of premeditation; (4) lack of perseverance; (5) sensation seeking. In the present study 718 participants (504 women and 214 men), with mean age 38.5 (SD = 12.4) who were recruited online fulfilled the UPPS-P scale. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) presented appropriate goodness of fit for the five-factor model, and a Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) revealed evidence of invariance of its psychometric parameters as a function of gender. Our results showed that the Brazilian Portuguese version of UPPS-P presents good psychometric properties and the same five-factor structure of the original version of UPPS-P.

巴西版UPPS-P冲动行为量表的心理测量特征及规范数据

目的是检查UPPS-P冲动行为量表(一种广泛用于评估冲动行为的自我报告测量方法)在研究和临床环境中的因素结构、可靠性和获得巴西适应性的初步参数。该量表由59个项目组成，评估冲动性的五个因素:(1)积极紧迫性，(2)消极紧迫性，(3)缺乏预谋;(4)缺乏毅力;(5)寻求感觉。在本研究中，在线招募的718名参与者(504名女性和214名男性)平均年龄38.5岁(SD = 12.4)完成了UPPS-P量表。验证性因子分析(CFA)显示了五因素模型的适当拟合优度，多组验证性因子分析(MGCFA)显示了其心理测量参数作为性别函数的不变性的证据。结果表明，巴西葡萄牙语版本的UPPS-P具有良好的心理测量特性，且与原始版本的UPPS-P具有相同的五因子结构。
