URREGO BARBOSA, Sandra Carolina; VALENCIA CASALLAS, Olga Lucía  e  VILLALBA, Javier. Validation of the barrat impulsivity scale (bis-11) in bogotana population. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.2, pp.143-157. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2017.0002.01.

The present work was carried out in order to validate the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (bis-11) in the population of Bogota, and thus provide empirical evidence to unify the interpretation and analysis criteria. Participated 313 people: 98 deprived of freedom temporarily in the Unit of Immediate Reaction (URI); 86 diagnosed with disorders related to impulsivity and 126 university students. The cultural adaptation of the test was made through linguistic revision, expert judgment and piloting. Subsequently, the instrument was validated. The results showed a reliability of the total scale of a 0.7 and for motor subscales a 0.6, attentional a 0.5 and unplanned a 0.4; the exploratory factor analysis identified 2 factors that explain 29.77% of the total variance. The evidence allows to conclude a psychometric quality moderate, for which it is recommended not to use this version for diagnosis and perform the translation of the last update of the original scale.
