“…In this study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were adequate (harmonious passion a ¼ 0.84; obsessive passion a ¼ 0.78 and passion criteria a ¼ 0.77). (Dickman, 1990) The scale was validated in Spanish by Chico, Tous, Lorenzo-Seva and Vigil-Colet (2003). It consists of 23 items of which eleven evaluate functional impulsivity (eg.…”

“…El cuestionario con este formato de respuesta ha mostrado propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en la muestra no clínica de mayor tamaño estudiada hasta el momento , con una consistencia interna de 0,759 para la impulsividad funcional y de 0,801 para la disfuncional. El DII muestra una buena validez convergente en su formato original de respuesta (Caci et al, 2003;Chico et al, 2003;Claes et al, 2000;Pedrero, 2009). …”

The pattern of binge drinking (BD), found especially among young people, has become an important social and health problem. However, its prevalence has not been carefully studied until recently, together with its consequences in the mid and long run and the possible risk factors. The aim of this work is to study, for the first time, the possible differences in the dimensions of functional and dysfunctional impulsivity in Dickman's model among university students with BD and non-consumers of alcohol or control group. 80 subjects (40 men) with a pattern of BD and 80 controls (40 men) participated in the study, aged 18 to 25 (21,38 ± 1,91).They all completed Dickman's Impulsivity Inventory (DII, 1990). Several variables known to affect the results, such as circadian typology, were controlled for. The scores on dysfunctional impulsivity were higher in the BD group compared to the controls, while no differences were found according to functional impulsivity. Men showed a higher degree of impulsivity than women, both functional and dysfunctional, although in dysfunctional impulsivity this is significant only in the BD group.The DII has proven sensitive to detecting BD, and thus it could become an assessment tool to take into account in preventive or treatment approaches in the future. nal, impulsividad disfuncional, personalidad, sexo.

“…La impulsividad disfuncional, en cambio, se refiere a la tendencia a involucrarse en procesamiento rápido e irreflexivo, y frecuentemente erróneo. En el presente estudio se ha utilizado una versión previamente validada en español (Chico et al, 2003).…”

Objective: Several studies have shown evidence of executive function impairment associated with substance abuse. This suggests the potential usefulness of a baseline assessment measure to screen for dysexecutive impairments in individuals beginning treatment. The Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) is a test widely used to estimate executive dysfunction. The main objective of this work is to study the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX-Sp). A complementary goal is to study its potential utility for initial screening in addicted individuals seeking treatment. Method: A sample of 131 non-clinical and 127 clinical individuals meeting the DSM-IV-TR substance abuse or dependence criteria were recruited. Results: Internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessed (Cronbach's α =0.91), as well as other reliability indicators. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis offers four-and five-factor solutions. Also tested were the dimensionality and structural model and its convergent and discriminant validity with other instruments. Differences between clinical and non-clinical individuals and total scores were also analyzed. Conclusions: The data suggest that the Spanish version of the DEX is a useful measure for assessing general symptoms of dysexecutive syndrome, and a valid, reliable and adequate screening test for estimating cognitive impairment associated with substance abuse.Key words: Executive functions, dysexecutive syndrome, frontal lobe, addictive behaviour, questionnaires, psychometrics, factor analysis, treatment. RESUMEN ABSTRACTObjetivo: Diversos estudios han evidenciado el deterioro de las funciones ejecutivas asociado al abuso de sustancias. Este hecho sugiere la conveniencia de contar con algún instrumento de cribado que sirva para establecer una línea base sobre los déficits que presentan los sujetos que inician tratamiento. El Cuestionario Disejecutivo (DEX) es un test ampliamente utilizado para estimar disfunción ejecutiva. El principal objetivo del presente trabajo se centra en estudiar las propiedades de la versión española del Cuestionario Disejecutivo (DEX-Sp). Complementariamente se pretende estudiar su potencial utilidad como instrumento de cribado en adictos en tratamiento. Método: 131 sujetos de población no clínica y 127 adictos (con criterios DSM-IV-TR para abuso o dependencia). Resultados: Se estudia la consistencia interna (α de Cronbach = 0,91) entre otros indicadores de fiabilidad. El análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio ofrece soluciones de 4 y 5 factores. Se estudió la dimensionalidad y el modelo estructural de base, así como la validez convergente y discriminante. Se estudiaron las diferencias apreciadas entre adictos y población no clínica. Conclusiones: Los datos sugieren que la versión española del DEX es un instrumento útil para evaluar síntomas disejecutivos generales, con la suficiente fiabilidad y validez para explorar deterioro cognitivo asociado al abuso de sustancias.
