Impulsivity is widely recognized as a risk factor for a variety of mental disorders and problematic behaviors. The Short UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (SUPPS-P) is an extensively used instrument to measure impulsivity in research and clinical settings. The current study primarily aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the SUPPS-P (C-SUPPS-P) among Chinese adolescents and emerging adults, and then to test its measurement invariance across gender and age. Data were collected from three vocational high schools and six colleges in Changsha, China. A total of 2,551 participants (20.1% male and 22.6% adolescents) completed the C-SUPPS-P and scales assessing addictive and problematic smartphone use, as well as emotional symptoms (anxiety, stress, depression). Four alternative models were examined and compared by using confirmatory factor analysis to determine the best factor structure of the C-SUPPS-P. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were used to test measurement invariance across gender and age. A theory-driven five-factor structure consistent with the original scale was identified. All of the subscales had good internal consistency. The correlations observed with the other scales supported the construct validity of the C-SUPPS-P. Full measurement invariance was established across gender and age, and significant gender and age differences according to impulsivity facets were identified. The C-SUPPS-P presents a consistent factor structure, as well as reliability and validity that are equivalent to those of the original scale. The full measurement invariance shown across gender and age allows for intergroup comparisons. Overall, the C-SUPPS-P is a promising instrument to measure various impulsivity traits in Chinese adolescents and emerging adults.
冲动性被广泛认为是多种精神障碍和问题行为的一个风险因素。简版UPPS-P冲动行为量表（SUPPS-P）是在研究和临床环境中广泛用于测量冲动性的工具。本研究主要旨在评估中文版SUPPS-P（C-SUPPS-P）在中国青少年和刚成年的年轻人中的心理测量特性，然后检验其在性别和年龄上的测量不变性。数据收集于中国长沙的三所职业高中和六所大学。共有2551名参与者（20.1%为男性，22.6%为青少年）完成了C-SUPPS-P以及评估成瘾性和问题性智能手机使用情况以及情绪症状（焦虑、压力、抑郁）的量表。通过验证性因素分析检验并比较了四个替代模型，以确定C-SUPPS-P的最佳因素结构。多组验证性因素分析用于检验性别和年龄上的测量不变性。确定了一个与原量表一致的理论驱动的五因素结构。所有子量表都具有良好的内部一致性。与其他量表的相关性支持了C-SUPPS-P的结构效度。在性别和年龄上建立了完全测量不变性，并确定了根据冲动性方面存在的显著性别和年龄差异。C-SUPPS-P呈现出一致的因素结构，以及与原量表相当的信度和效度。在性别和年龄上显示的完全测量不变性允许进行组间比较。总体而言，C-SUPPS-P是测量中国青少年和刚成年的年轻人各种冲动性特征的一个有前景的工具。
