The short form of the Impulsive Behavior scale (S-UPPS-P) is a widely used scale to measure multiple impulsive personality traits; although it has been translated into many languages, no Turkish translation has been studied to date. Our study had two aims. First, we tested the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the S-UPPS-P for adolescents. Second, we examined impulsive trait characteristics exhibited by adolescents with ADHD, compared to a community sample. We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Turkish S-UPPS-P scale in 384 adolescents aged 11-18 and tested correlations with ADHD symptoms by assessing 41 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. Our results showed that with a few slight modifications the Turkish translation of the S-UPPS-P scale can validly assess impulsive trait characteristics for Turkish adolescents. The subscales of lack of premeditation, positive urgency, and negative urgency efficiently distinguished between adolescents with ADHD and control subjects. This is the first scale to evaluate the multidimensional nature of impulsivity in Turkish adolescents. This scale is capable of screening various facets of impulsivity in typically developing adolescents as well as those with ADHD, enabling us to enhance our understanding of possible risks for comorbid diseases in the latter group.
冲动行为量表简版（S-UPPS-P）是一种广泛用于测量多种冲动性人格特质的量表；尽管它已被翻译成多种语言，但迄今为止尚未对其土耳其语翻译版本进行研究。我们的研究有两个目的。首先，我们测试了青少年版土耳其语S-UPPS-P量表的有效性和可靠性。其次，我们将注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）青少年与社区样本进行比较，研究了他们所表现出的冲动特质特征。我们评估了384名11至18岁青少年的土耳其语S-UPPS-P量表的心理测量特性，并通过评估41名被诊断为ADHD的青少年来测试与ADHD症状的相关性。我们的结果表明，经过一些细微修改后，S-UPPS-P量表的土耳其语翻译版本能够有效地评估土耳其青少年的冲动特质特征。缺乏预谋、积极紧迫性和消极紧迫性这几个分量表能够有效地区分ADHD青少年和对照组受试者。这是第一个评估土耳其青少年冲动性多维性质的量表。该量表能够筛查发育正常青少年以及ADHD青少年冲动性的各个方面，使我们能够加深对后一组中共患疾病可能风险的理解。
