“…Participants with higher expression of impulsivity were shown to benefit from higher religiosity regarding mental health. The relationship of religiosity with impulsivity on internalizing symptoms in a heterogeneous sample is unsurprising considering that many psychiatric disorders can be understood as extreme expressions of typical psychological traits as shown in previously research in psychiatric disorders 13,14 . These results suggest that religiosity influence the impact of impulsivity on internalizing symptoms only in the higher spectrum of impulsivity.…”

Background: There is growing interest in the role of religion in psychiatric disorders. Impulsivity is a psychological trait associated with acting without thinking, with a decision process favoring short-term outcomes without further consideration of its consequences, and is a risk factor for the development of mental disorders. Objective: In this study, the objective was to analyze the role of religiosity as a possible moderator between the association of impulsivity and internalizing psychiatric symptoms. Methods: The hypothesis was assessed in a cross-sectional study enrolling 366 adults evaluated using the abbreviated version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20, and the Duke Religion Index. Results: Internalizing symptoms were significantly influenced by an interaction between religiosity and impulsivity. Religiosity acted as a protective factor against internalizing symptoms only for participants with high impulsivity. Discussion: The results suggest a moderation role of religiosity in the association of impulsivity with internalizing symptoms.

“…This behavioral addiction is characterized by strong urges to buy resulting in repetitive, uncontrolled, excessive purchases of consumer goods that are then rarely or never used (e.g., Billieux, Rochat, Rebetez & Van der Linden, ; Müller, Mitchell & de Zwaan, ). Previous research emphasized the prominent role of trait impulsivity in the development and maintenance of pathological buying behavior (e.g., Billieux et al ., ; Paula, Costa, Oliveira, Alves, Passos & Malloy‐Diniz, ; Rose & Segrist, ). In combination, these three studies shall shed new light on the complex relationship between impulsiveness and the Big Five factors by accounting for the multidimensional structure of impulsiveness.…”

The place of impulsiveness in multidimensional personality frameworks is still unclear. In particular, no consensus has yet been reached with regard to the relation of impulsiveness to Neuroticism and Extraversion. We aim to contribute to a clearer understanding of these relationships by accounting for the multidimensional structure of impulsiveness. In three independent studies, we related the subscales of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) to the Big Five factors of personality. Study 1 investigated the associations between the BIS subscales and the Big Five factors as measured by the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) in a student sample (N = 113). Selective positive correlations emerged between motor impulsiveness and Extraversion and between attentional impulsiveness and Neuroticism. This pattern of results was replicated in Study 2 (N = 132) using a 10-item short version of the Big Five Inventory. In Study 3, we analyzed BIS and NEO-FFI data obtained from a sample of patients with pathological buying (N = 68). In these patients, the relationship between motor impulsiveness and Extraversion was significantly weakened when compared to the non-clinical samples. At the same time, the relationship between attentional impulsiveness and Neuroticism was substantially stronger in the clinical sample. Our studies highlight the utility of the BIS subscales for clarifying the relationship between impulsiveness and the Big Five personality factors. We conclude that impulsiveness might occupy multiple places in multidimensional personality frameworks, which need to be specified to improve the interpretability of impulsiveness scales.

“…The Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS), which conceptualizes CB as a disorder with elements of impulsivity and compulsivity, was developed based on the theoretical classification of CB as an obsessive–compulsive spectrum disorder in 2008 (Ridgway et al., 2008). This scale uses an emerging theory from psychiatric literature that incorporates both obsessive–compulsive and impulsive–control dimensions (Billieux et al., 2008; Paula et al., 2015; Ridgway et al., 2008; Yi, 2013). Furthermore, RCBS emphasized the underlying CB tendency (independence of income or money-related demographic characteristics) but not the consequences of CB (i.e., income-dependent characteristics that check the overspending behaviors can be considered as part of the nomological network; Ridgway et al., 2008).…”

Background and aimsCompulsive buying (CB) is a behavioral addiction that is conceptualized as an obsessive–compulsive and impulsive–control disorder. The Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS), a six-item self-reporting instrument that has been validated worldwide, was developed based on this theoretical background. This study aimed to adapt RCBS to the Chinese population (RCBS-TC) to guide future national and international prevalence studies.MethodsThis methodological study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involved the forward and backward translation of RCBS, the content and face validation of the RCBS, and the evaluation of its translation adequacy. Phase 2 involved the psychometric testing of RCBS-TC for its internal consistency, stability, and construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).ResultsIn Phase 1, RCBS-TC obtained satisfactory item-level (I-CVI = 83.3%–100%) and scale-level content validity index (CVI/AVE = 97.2%), comprehensibility (100%), and translation adequacy [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.858]. In Phase 2, based on data collected from 821 adults, RCBS-TC demonstrated a satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .88; corrected item-total correlation coefficients = 0.61–0.78) 2-week test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.82 based on 61 university students). For construct validation, the CFA results indicated that the corrected first-order two-factor models were acceptable with the same goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df = 8.56, CFI = 0.99, NFI = 0.98, IFI = 0.99, and RMSEA = 0.09). The 2-week test–retest reliability of RCBS-TC (n = 61) was also satisfactory (ICC = 0.82).Discussion and conclusionsThis methodological study adopted appropriate and stringent procedures to ensure that the translation and validation of RCBS-TC was of quality. The results indicate that this scale has a satisfactory reliability and validity for the Chinese population.
