Abstract

To evaluate the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Italian translation of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale, while providing also normative data, 797 community dwelling adults were administered the UPPS-P online. Omega coefficient values suggested adequate internal consistency reliability for all the UPPS-P scales. Weighted least square mean and variance adjusted (WLSMV) confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed adequate fit for the a priori five-factor model of the UPPS-P items. Measurement invariance findings supported the scalar invariance of the UPPS-P items across male and female sub-group (RMSEA = .052, CFI = .921, D -CFI = .002), thus allowing gender comparisons in terms of latent factor mean scores. Based on these findings, normative data and T scores for the UPPS-P scale score distribution among Italian community-dwelling adults were provided. Hopefully, our findings may help clinicians and researchers to use the UPPS-P in their routine assessment of impulsive behaviors.

意大利社区居民UPPS-P冲动行为量表的因素结构、跨性别亚组的测量不变性和意大利语翻译的规范性数据

为了评估UPPS-P冲动行为量表意大利语翻译的因素结构和测量不变性，同时提供规范性数据，797名居住在社区的成年人在线接受了UPPS-P。Omega系数值表明所有UPPS-P量表具有足够的内部一致性可靠性。加权最小二乘均方差调整（WLSMV）验证性因素分析（CFA）显示出对UPPS-P项目的先验五因素模型的充分拟合。测量不变性结果支持UPPS-P项目在男性和女性亚组中的标量不变性（RMSEA=.052，CFI=.921，D-CFI=.002），从而允许在潜在因素平均得分方面进行性别比较。基于这些发现，提供了意大利社区居住成年人UPPS-P量表得分分布的标准数据和T分。希望我们的发现能帮助临床医生和研究人员在冲动行为的常规评估中使用UPPS-P。
