“…The items from the SUPPS-P ( Cyders et al, 2014 ) in Portuguese pertaining to all impulsiveness domains except Positive Urgency were obtained from the research team that adapted the UPPS for use in Brazil, which was shown to display adequate psychometric properties ( Nogueira et al, 2013 ; Sediyama et al, 2017 ). These researchers also provided translations of the Positive Urgency items, which are currently under validation.…”

Psychometric Properties of a Short Version of the Impulsiveness Questionnaire UPPS-P in a Brazilian Adult Sample: Invariance for Effects of Age, Sex and Socioeconomic Status and Subscales Viability

Five different facets or domains of impulsivity (lack of Perseverance, lack of Premeditation, Sensation Seeking, Positive and Negative Urgency) have been detected in undergraduate students by means of a short, 20-item version of the Impulsive Behavior Scale UPPS-P. The present cross-sectional study examined the psychometric properties of a Brazilian version of this short scale (SUPPS-P) in a non-clinical sample of 510 individuals with a larger age range (10–72 years) and from varying socioeconomic strata (SES). We also investigated: (a) differential item functioning according to age, sex and socioeconomic status; (b) whether these demographic factors affected participants’ responses (population heterogeneity); and (c) if using scores directly derived from respondents’ answers (raw scores) reflected the 5 distinguishable impulsiveness domains out of the structural equation modeling environment (bifactor model). We showed that the short UPPS-P version replicated factor structures, internal consistency across domains and inter-scale correlations found in prior studies, and confirmed the psychometric separability of the 5 impulsiveness domains. Only three out of the 20 items showed differential item functioning. Higher Positive and Negative Urgency and lack of Premeditation were reported by men and impulsiveness decreases with age in all domains except lack of Premeditation. SES did not influence results. The viability of using raw scores to assess the five domains was not confirmed via bifactor modeling. The use of a general composite score was psychometrically acceptable. We conclude that, in the structural equation modeling environment, the SUPPS-P is a reliable instrument to assess multiple impulsivity domains in non-clinical community samples in different cultural settings. However, out of this statistical environment, viability was only found for a general factor of impulsivity.

“…The UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale consists of 59 statements rated on a 1 to 4 Likert-type scale from “agree strongly” to “disagree strongly.” The UPPS-P questionnaire has been translated into more than 10 languages, including French [ 36 ], German [ 37 ], Italian [ 38 ], Spanish [ 39 ], Korean [ 40 ], Polish [ 41 ], Portuguese [ 42 ], and Dutch [ 43 ] and multiple short forms have been developed in Arabic [ 44 ], English [ 45 ], Farsi [ 46 ], French [ 47 ], German [ 48 ], Italian [ 49 ], and Spanish [ 50 ]. A child version also has been developed and validated [ 51 ].…”

The UPPS-P Model of Impulsive Personality, a prominent model of impulsive personality derived from the Five Factor Model of Personality, is a multi-dimensional model of impulsive personality that consists of negative urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseveration, sensation seeking, and positive urgency. The UPPS-P model has highlighted the importance of separating multidimensional traits due to the specificity of these traits corresponding to different risk behaviors. The goal of the current review paper is to make recommendations on how to apply the UPPS-P Model of Impulsive Personality, to diagnosis of and treatment for psychopathology. However, despite impulsivity being one of the most frequently used criteria for a number of clinical disorders, our review of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-5 found that the UPPS-P traits are not well represented in the diagnostic criteria, which we propose limits inferences about etiology and treatment targets. Additionally, research has largely focused on the importance of these traits for risk models; our review of the literature applying the UPPS-P traits to treatment processes and outcomes concluded that this area is not yet well studied. Here, we propose the specific application of the UPPS-P model to improve diagnosis and increase treatment effectiveness.

“…The scale assumes a heterogeneous construct of impulsivity and comprises four dimensions: urgency, sensation seeking, (lack of) premeditation and (lack of) perseverance. The Portuguese version of the measure demonstrates adequate reliability and validity (Sediyama et al, 2017). Previous studies have demonstrated correlations of the UPPS dimensions with reward sensitivity (Carlson, Pritchard, |& Dominelli, 2013) and eating behavior (Moreno-López, Soriano-Mas, Delgado-Rico, Rio-Valle, |& Verdejo-García, 2012).…”

Reward sensitivity has been hypothesized to play a significant role in a range of eating behaviors, including overeating. Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings in overweight individuals indicate heightened responses to food, but also to other reward types, suggesting generalized overactivity of the reward system. The current fMRI study investigated the relationship between general reward sensitivity and eating behavior in normal-weight individuals, while controlling for trait impulsivity. Participants were young adults, some demonstrating ADHD symptoms, allowing for a range of impulsivity profiles. A classical conditioning task was used to measure striatal responses to monetary reward stimuli. Uncontrolled eating scores from the Three Eating Factor Questionnaire were positively correlated with caudate responses to reward predicting cues. This association was not explained by self-reported impulsivity. The current findings provide support for heightened reward anticipation as a neural phenotype contributing to overeating. brain | reward anticipation | reward sensitivity | uncontrolled eating | fMRI caudate | striatum | normal-weight adult | impulsivity |
