“…As far as convergent validity is concerned, the I-DAQ scales showed the expected relationships with BPAQ and IAS, each scale showing the highest correlation with its analog scale of the tests used for validity. And as far as criterion validity is concerned, all the I-DAQ scales showed positive relationships with dysfunctional impulsivity, replicating the results previously found with other aggression measures (AnguianoCarrasco & Vigil-Colet, 2011;Vigil-Colet et al, 2008). With regard to the relationships between I-DAQ and personality dimensions, we found that AG and CO were related to physical aggression and the overall aggression score of I-DAQ.…”

Abstract. Self-reports of aggression are deeply impacted by response bias, especially by social desirability, but there are no specific methods for controlling this bias. Furthermore, despite the importance of the subject few instruments have been designed to assess both direct and indirect forms of aggression. The aim of the present research was to develop a brief measure that comprises both forms of aggression and which makes it possible to obtain scores free of social desirability and acquiescence effects. The scales were created using recently developed methods for controlling response bias effects in a sample of 750 participants over a wide age range. The items were chosen by a panel of judges from among the best of the existing aggression measures. Confirmatory factor analysis showed the expected three factor structure (CFI = .98; AGFI = .97 and RSMEA = .078, 90% C.I. = .074 -.083) and the scales showed good psychometric properties in that they had good reliability (ranging from θ xx = .77 to θ xx = .83), and convergent and criterion validity.

Current approaches in Dutch mental health care institutions towards inpatients' aggression have focused predominantly on environmental factors, such as training the staff in aggression management. However, personality traits might be an important factor in patients' aggressionas shown by incidents in the wards. This study explores the influence of dysfunctional impulsivity and alexithymia on psychiatric patients' aggressive behavior, through self-reports and through involvement in aggressive incidents. Personality traits influencing patients' aggression emphasize the importance of a more direct approach to their aggression. Clinical patients at Dutch mental health care institution Emergis (n = 84) filled out questionnaires about their aggressiveness (using Buss and Perry's Aggression Questionnaire Short Form), dysfunctional impulsivity and alexithymia. Multiple regression analyses indicated that dysfunctional impulsivity positively related to self-reported aggressive behavior. The relationship, however, could not be confirmed for inpatients' aggression as reported by the staff on the wards. Unexpectedly affective alexithymia negatively related to hostility. Gender differences in self-reported aggression were found. Female patients showed higher levels of hostility. Regression analyses indicated that the male gender positively related to physical aggression. Findings emphasize the importance of a new approach in Dutch mental health care, in which patients may engage in aggression-regulation training programs.

“…La impulsividad disfuncional se considera un marcador de vulnerabilidad para el desarrollo de trastornos adictivos (Paaver et al, 2006;Pedrero, 2009;Verdejo et al, 2008), juego patológico y otras adicciones conductuales (Maccalum et al, 2007;Meerkerk et al, 2010), así como conducta agresiva y antisocial (Strüber et al, 2008;Vigil-Colet et al, 2008). Nuestro trabajo permite afirmar que la dimensión de impulsividad disfuncional del modelo de Dickman también se muestra sensible al fenómeno del CIA, a diferencia de otros cuestionarios de impulsividad que no han consegui- …”

“…Ello es congruente con la constatación de que los hombres tienen menor autocontrol y un riesgo incrementado de sufrir alteraciones de los impulsos respecto a las mujeres (Maccallum, Blaszczynski, Ladouceur y Nover, 2007;Paaver et al, 2006;Strüber, Lück y Roth, 2008;Verdejo et al, 2008), siendo ello más evidente cuando se estudian jóvenes (Goodriaan et al, 2011;Perry y Carroll, 2008). Puntuaciones elevadas en impulsividad disfuncional se asocian a cogniciones desadaptativas (Mobini, Grant, Kass y Yeomans., 2007) y déficits en tareas de inhibición conductual y funciones ejecutivas (Vigil-Colet, 2007;Vigil-Colet et al, 2008). El DII se ha mostrado sensible a trastornos adictivos y del control de los impulsos (Meerkerk, van den Eijnden, Franken y Garretsen, 2010;Pedrero, 2009), hallándose puntuaciones de impulsividad disfuncional superiores en las muestras clínicas.…”

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.
