“…Sample items include “I have angry outbursts” and “I overreact to small problems.” Each item was measured on a 3-point scale with response options never , sometimes , and often . The BRIEF–A has high positive convergent validity between informant and participant report, and the emotion control scale has good internal consistency (α = .91; Ciszewski, Francis, Mendella, Bissada, & Tasca, 2014). Each of the items was reverse coded so that higher scores indicated higher emotion control.…”

Objective To explore the direct and indirect associations of maternal emotion control, executive functioning, and social cognitions maternal with harsh verbal parenting and child behavior and to do so guided by social information processing theory. Background Studies have demonstrated a relationship between maternal harsh parenting and increased child conduct problems. However, less is known about how maternal emotion and cognitive control capacities and social cognitions intersect with harsh parenting and child behavior. Method Structural equation modeling was used with a convenience sample of 152 mothers from Appalachia who had a child between 3 and 7 years of age. Results Maternal emotion control and executive functioning were both inversely associated with child conduct problems. That is, stronger maternal emotion control was associated with less harsh verbal parenting and lower hostile attribution bias, and higher maternal executive functioning was related to less controlling parenting attitudes. Conclusion The results suggest maternal emotion and cognitive control capacities affect how mothers interact with their children and ultimately child conduct problems. Implications To more effectively reduce harsh verbal parenting and child conduct problems, interventions should help mothers to improve their emotion and cognitive control capacities.

“…psychometric properties. Studies using this scale have shown that it offers a useful way to assess and detect executive dysfunction in patients with ADHD, schizophrenia, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, hypersexuality and eating disorders, and in those who are pathological gamblers and ecstasy consumers, among others [14,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Patients with fibromyalgia showed executive dysfunction in subjective and objective measures, although most of this impairment was associated with mood disturbances. Exceptions to this general rule were observed in the impairment of working memory evidenced on the BRIEF-A scale and the inhibition impairment exhibited by the interference effect from the Stroop Test. The two types of measurement provide different yet complementary information.

“…Validity characteristics were confirmed according to different methods, content and face validity were evaluated at the first step of the research as scale preparation, and factor analysis method was used to confirm factors of the scale in the Persian version. Different studies have validated the BRIEF-A inventory in different target populations, including patients suffering from binge eating disorder (19,27), patients with substance use disorder (20), neuropsychiatric patients (21), and schizophrenia (22), and have suggested that the BRIEF-A inventory is an appropriate tool in measuring different aspects of executive function, including emotional impairments and social functioning (20). Further studies have confirmed that BRIEF-A is sensitive to mild cognitive impairment (28).…”

Background: Evaluation of brain function is achieved through patients' behavior. One of the self-regulatory behaviors, impaired in various psychiatric and neurological disorders, is executive function. Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult version (BRIEF-A) is a standard tool for the assessment of executive function. Objectives: Thus, the present study aimed at validating the Persian version of BRIEF-A. Materials and Methods:The study population consisted of 318 employees/students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and teachers/staff of the Education Department of Juyom, Larestan, Fars province, aged between 18 and 65 years, who obtained a General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) score of < 6. The BRIEF-A questionnaire was translated, revised, and rechecked in expert meetings and the final version was given to participants under observation of a research-team member. Test-retest reliability was determined for a random sample of 60 participants during one month. Cronbach's alpha was used to estimate the scale internal consistency and validity was evaluated via content validity and factor analysis. The SPSS and LISREL software was used, with P value of less than 0.05 determining the level of significance. Results: Cronbach's alpha for BRIEF-A subscales was as follows: inhibit 0.693, shift 0.774, emotional control 0.838, self-monitor 0.704, and initiate 0.717, working memory 0.775, plan/organize 0.795, task monitor 0.650, and organization of material 0.781. Fitness evaluation of the BRIEF-A model factors showed comparative and non-normed fit index of 0.095, standardized root mean of 0.064, and root mean square error of approximation square residual of 0.051 for 9 areas (75 questions) (P = 0.001), which was also calculated separately for BRI/MI, measuring 0.98, 0.034, and 0.088, respectively (P = 0.001). Test-retest reliability showed a significant correlation between the first and second evaluation (P < 0.001). Conclusion:The present study could successfully validate the Persian version of BRIEF-A with a high validity and reliability.
