TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the psychometric properties of a French adaptation of the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale and found that there was good to very good internal reliability for the four subscales.

Abstract: Impulsivity is an important and multifaceted psychological construct. Recently, Whiteside and Lynam (2001) have developed the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale that distinguishes four dimensions of impulsivity: Urgency, lack of Premeditation, lack of Perseverance, and Sensation seeking. In the present study, we investigated the psychometric properties of a French adaptation of the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale. Two hundred and thirty-four undergraduate students completed the UPPS Scale. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses revealed a four factors solution similar to that found in the original study. Also, the results indicated that there was good to very good internal reliability for the four subscales.

Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: The results indicate a stronger sex difference in motivational rather than effortful or executive forms of behavior control, which support evolutionary and biological theories of risk taking predicated on sex differences in punishment sensitivity.
The Role of Impulsivity in Actual and Problematic Use of the Mobile Phone
TL;DR: The Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire (PMPUQ) as discussed by the authors assesses four different dimensions of problematic mobile phone use (prohibited use, dangerous use, dependence, financial problems).

TL;DR: The short French version of the UPPS-P presents good psychometric properties and may be considered a promising instrument for both research and clinical practice.

The role of urgency and its underlying psychological mechanisms in problematic behaviours
TL;DR: A poor ability to inhibit prepotent responses in the emotional condition of the stop-signal task was found to predict more disadvantageous choices in the IGT, which ultimately results in higher urgency and more problematic behaviours.

Does impulsivity relate to perceived dependence on and actual use of the mobile phone
Joël Billieux,Martial Van der Linden,Martial Van der Linden,Mathieu d'Acremont,Grazia Ceschi,Ariane Zermatten +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale was used to identify four distinct components associated with impulsive behaviour: Urgency, lack of premeditation, self-interest, and lack of perseverance, and the results showed that a relationship can be established between the use of and perceived dependence on the cellular phone and two facets of impulsivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...
