This study introduces the Behaviour Dyscontrol Scale (BDS) to assess behavioral dyscontrol and impulsivity in disruptive behavior disorders. The new scale showed significant differences between patients and controls, highlighting its potential for clinical evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Context:

  • Disruptive behavior disorders are gaining renewed clinical interest.
  • Existing instruments for evaluating impulsivity and behavioral dyscontrol require revision.
  • Recent trials highlight the need for updated assessment tools.

Purpose:

  • To review existing scales for rating impulsivity.
  • To propose and describe a new scale for evaluating behavioral dyscontrol: the Behaviour Dyscontrol Scale (BDS).
  • To validate the BDS using a patient population with disruptive behavior disorders and a control group.

Summary:

  • The Behaviour Dyscontrol Scale (BDS) comprises four parts: generalized lack of control (G-BDS), specific impulsive behaviors (S-BDS), handicap from dyscontrol (VAS), and physician's global impression (VAS).

  • The study included 166 patients (anxious, depressed, abusers, bulimics) and 35 controls.
  • Significant differences were found between patients and controls on the G-BDS, but not on the S-BDS.

    • Impact:

    • The BDS offers a novel instrument for assessing behavioral dyscontrol in clinical settings.
    • Findings suggest the G-BDS component is sensitive to differences in disruptive behavior disorders.
    • This research contributes to the refinement of diagnostic and assessment tools for behavioral disorders.
