Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Impulsiveness is a key trait in various psychological conditions.
  • Existing measures like the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Version 10 (BIS-10) require refinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Version 10 (BIS-10) into the BIS-11.
  • To determine the factor structure of the BIS-11 in a non-clinical sample.
  • To compare BIS-11 scores between healthy individuals, psychiatric inpatients, and prison inmates.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the BIS-11 to 412 college undergraduates, 248 psychiatric inpatients, and 73 male prison inmates.
  • Utilized exploratory principal components analysis to identify the scale's factor structure.
  • Compared scores across the different demographic groups.

Main Results:

  • Identified six primary factors and three second-order factors within the BIS-11 items.
  • The second-order factors were labeled Attentional Impulsiveness, Motor Impulsiveness, and Nonplanning Impulsiveness.
  • Two second-order factors aligned with previous research, but a distinct cognitive impulsiveness factor was not identified.

Conclusions:

  • The revised Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Version 11 (BIS-11) demonstrates strong internal consistency.
  • The BIS-11 shows potential clinical utility for assessing impulsiveness in psychiatric and inmate populations.
