Abstract

Aim

Impulsivity is a multifaceted construct that has a prominent role in psychiatry and especially in addiction. The objective of the current study is to develop and validate a Spanish version of the short UPPS-P impulsive behavior scale¹, which assesses five distinct impulsivity traits (positive urgency, negative urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking).

Material and methods

One hundred and eighty-nine participants were included in the study. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the five-factor model of the original scale.

Results

The results indicated good internal reliability. External validity was supported by specific relationships with a scale assessing emotion regulation strategies.

Conclusion

Accordingly, the short Spanish version of the UPPS-P scale presents good psychometric properties and may be considered a promising instrument for both research and clinical practice.

简短的西班牙语版UPPS-P冲动行为量表的验证

脉冲性是一个多方面的概念，在精神病学中，尤其是在成瘾中扮演着重要的角色。当前研究的目的是开发并验证西班牙语版的短UPPS-P冲动行为量表，该量表评估五种不同的冲动特征(积极紧迫感、消极紧迫感、缺乏预谋、缺乏毅力和寻求感觉)。材料与方法研究共纳入189名参与者。验证性因子分析支持原量表的五因子模型。结果本方法具有良好的内部信度。外部效度与评估情绪调节策略的量表有特定的关系。结论西班牙语短版本的UPPS-P量表具有良好的心理测量特性，可作为一种有前景的研究和临床应用工具。
