Wiki Version:
The UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Model and the various psychometric instruments developed and validated based on this model are well-established in clinical and research settings. However, evidence regarding the psychometric validity, reliability, and equivalence across multiple countries of residence, languages, or gender identities, including gender-diverse individuals, is lacking to date. Using data from the International Sex Survey (*N* = 82,243), confirmatory factor analyses and measurement invariance analyses were performed on the pre-established five-factor structure of the 20-item short version of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (Billieux et al., 2012) to examine whether 1) psychometric validity and reliability and 2) psychometric equivalence hold across 34 country-of-residence-related, 22 language-related, and three gender-identity-related groups. The results of the present study extend the latter psychometric instrument’s well-established relevance to 26 countries, 13 languages, and three gender identities. Most notably, psychometric validity and reliability were evidenced across nine novel translations included in the present study (i.e., Croatian, English, German, Hebrew, Korean, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese – Portugal, and Spanish – Latin American), and psychometric equivalence was evidenced across all three gender identities included in the present study (i.e., women, men, and gender-diverse individuals).
