The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Brief version (BIS-Brief) in an archival sample of 315 adolescents (81% male; 63.5% Caucasian; = 16.7 years) participating in a military-style residential program for at-risk youths. Additionally, correlations between BIS scores and external measures of impulsivity-related behaviors were examined. Results showed support for a previously described two-dimensional structure for the BIS-Brief, which was invariant across racial groups. Additionally, the BIS-Brief performed similarly to the total BIS-11 score in relation to external measures of impulsivity-related behaviors. However, the two dimensions exhibited some significant differences in their associations with other measures. This study supports the utility of the BIS-Brief as a brief measure of impulsivity and suggests that the dimensions of the BIS-Brief may be useful in distinguishing how different aspects of impulsivity relate to problem behaviors such as binge drinking and self-injury.
本研究旨在评估巴瑞特冲动量表-简式（BIS-Brief）在一个有风险青少年参与的军事式住宿项目的 315 名青少年（81%为男性；63.5%为白种人；平均年龄=16.7 岁）的档案样本中的结构和测量不变性。此外，还考察了 BIS 分数与冲动相关行为的外部测量之间的相关性。结果支持了 BIS-Brief 的先前描述的二维结构，该结构在不同种族群体中是不变的。此外，BIS-Brief 在与冲动相关行为的外部测量相关方面与总 BIS-11 得分表现相似。然而，这两个维度在与其他测量的关联方面存在一些显著差异。这项研究支持 BIS-Brief 作为一种简短的冲动测量工具的效用，并表明 BIS-Brief 的维度可能有助于区分冲动的不同方面如何与诸如 binge drinking 和自残等问题行为相关。
