Introduction: The aim of the present study was to validate the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11th version) scale as well as the short version of the Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P) in a population of Greek young adults. Secondly, we aimed at validating the BIS-11 in older adults. Methods: 167 (Group 1) university students completed the Greek version of the BIS-11 (BIS-11-G) and the UPPS (UPPS-P-G) scales. Additionally, BIS-11-G was also administered to 167 (Group 2) cognitively intact older adults, to identify whether it could be used to measure impulsivity in an older adult population. Results: Both scales had satisfactory internal reliability and test–retest reliability, as well as convergent validity in the young adult population. In regard to the factor structure, a principal component analysis (PCA) extracted two factors for the BIS-11-G in the young adult population and three factors in older adults, as well as three factors for the short UPPS-P-G in young adults. Conclusions: The BIS-11-G and the UPPS-P-G scales can be used to measure different aspects of impulsivity in the Greek population of different ages in research and clinical practice.

Limb Apraxia

Zusammenfassung. Gliedmaßenapraxie ist eine Störung der motorischen Kognition, die besonders häufig nach linkshemisphärischem Schlaganfall auftritt. Diese Störung ist bei Patienten mit Multipler Sklerose (MS) noch wenig untersucht. Bisherige MS-Studien indizieren, dass die Leistung in den klassischen Pantomime- und Imitationstests beeinträchtigt sein kann. Die vorliegende Studie untersuchte die Gliedmaßenapraxie bei 26 MS-Patienten und 24 Gesunden mit dem Diagnostic Instrument for Limb Apraxia – Short Version (DILA-S), das zusätzlich zu den klassischen Imitations- und Pantomimetests auch den tatsächlichen Werkzeuggebrauch untersucht. Bei 27 % der MS-Patienten wurden apraktische Symptome in jeweils einzelnen Untertests diagnostiziert. Die Symptomausprägung war jedoch gering, sodass Gruppenvergleiche keine signifikanten Unterschiede zeigten. Insgesamt legen die Studienergebnisse nahe, dass Gliedmaßenapraxie bei MS-Patienten auftreten kann, aber vermutlich selten zu einem klinisch relevanten Symptom wird.

Barratt Impulsiveness Scale

Zusammenfassung. Impulsivität ist ein Persönlichkeitsmerkmal, das mit schnellen, unüberlegten Handlungen ohne Beachtung möglicher negativer Konsequenzen einhergeht. Eines der am weitesten verbreiteten Verfahren zur Erfassung von Impulsivität ist die Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton, Stanford & Barratt, 1995 ). Es wurde gezeigt, dass die drei Faktoren nicht-planende, motorische und aufmerksamkeitsbasierte Impulsivität auch ausreichend gut mit einer verkürzten Form der BIS-11 erfasst werden können (BIS-15; Spinella, 2007 ). Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt diese Kurzversion der BIS-11 in einer deutschen Übersetzung vor. Reliabilität und Faktorstruktur des Fragebogens wurden in einer Stichprobe (N = 752) von überwiegend Studierenden getestet. Die dreifaktorielle Struktur von Spinella (2007) konnte bestätigt werden. Die interne Konsistenz war gut (Cronbachs α = .81). In einer zweiten Studie (N = 51) zeigte sich konvergente Validität durch Zusammenhänge mit einem anderen Impulsivitätsmaß (UPPS). Die BIS-15 empfiehlt sich durch ihre guten psychometrischen Kennwerte und ihre ökonomische Durchführbarkeit für die Erfassung von Impulsivität im deutschen Sprachraum.

Background: In studies about the risk factors for suicidal behavior, the assessment of impulsiveness and aggression often depend on information from proxy informants. Aims: To assess the validity of proxy informants’ reports on impulsiveness and aggression in China. Methods: Modified Chinese versions of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-CV) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ-CV) were administered to 131 suicide attempters treated at a hospital in rural China, to coresident relatives about the attempters, to 131 matched community controls, and to coresident relatives about the controls. Results: BIS-CV and AQ-CV total scores and subscale scores were all significantly higher for suicide attempters than for matched controls. Proxy informants considered subjects slightly more impulsive and aggressive than the subjects reported themselves. Subject-proxy concordance for total BIS-CV and AQ-CV scores were excellent for both attempters and controls (ICCs = 0.76–0.83). Concordance for the three BIS-CV subscales was 0.74–0.81 for attempters and 0.74–0.83 for controls. Concordance for the five AQ-CV subscales was 0.66–0.85 for attempters and 0.56–0.82 for controls. Limitations: Results are based on respondents from a single location in rural China. Conclusions: The results support the validity of the BIS-CV and AQ-CV and of research on suicidal behavior in China that uses proxy-based reports of impulsiveness and aggression.

Personality Inventories

Abstract. The need for efficient personality inventories has led to the wide use of short instruments. The corresponding items often contain multiple, potentially conflicting descriptors within one item. In Study 1 ( N = 198 university students), the reliability and validity of the TIPI (Ten-Item Personality Inventory) was compared with the reliability and validity of a modified TIPI based on items that rephrased each two-descriptor item into two single-descriptor items. In Study 2 ( N = 268 university students), we administered the BFI-10 (Big Five Inventory short version) and a similarly modified version of the BFI-10 without two-descriptor items. In both studies, reliability and construct validity values occasionally improved for separated multi-descriptor items. The inventories with multi-descriptor items showed shortcomings in some factors of the TIPI and the BFI-10. However, the other scales worked comparably well in the original and modified inventories. The limitations of short personality inventories with multi-descriptor items are discussed.

Abstract. Employees’ innovative work is a facet of proactive work behavior that is of increasing interest to industrial and organizational psychologists. As proactive personality and supervisor support are key predictors of innovative work behavior, reliable, and valid employee ratings of these two constructs are crucial for organizations’ planning of personnel development measures. However, the time for assessments is often limited. The present study therefore aimed at constructing reliable short scales of two measures of proactive personality and supervisor support. For this purpose, we compared an innovative approach of item selection, namely Ant Colony Optimization (ACO; Leite, Huang, & Marcoulides, 2008 ) and classical item selection procedures. For proactive personality, the two item selection approaches provided similar results. Both five-item short forms showed a satisfactory reliability and a small, however negligible loss of criterion validity. For a two-dimensional supervisor support scale, ACO found a reliable and valid short form. Psychometric properties of the short version were in accordance with those of the parent form. A manual supervisor support short form revealed a rather poor model fit and a serious loss of validity. We discuss benefits and shortcomings of ACO compared to classical item selection approaches and recommendations for the application of ACO.
