| Popis: | The construct of impulsivity has gained interest in the last decades, and has been developed from different theoretical positions. Among these, the Eysencks proposed a specific self-administered questionnaire (IVE-7) for measuring two components, Impulsiveness (IMP) and Venturesomeness (VENT), which are included within their psychoticism-extraversion-neuroticism (P-E-N) system of personality. In the current study, the IVE-7 was translated into French and back-translated into English. Students filled out the French version, and data were analyzed for males and females separately. The scales reliabilities are similar between languages for IMP and VENT. The exploratory factor analyses revealed two acceptable three-factor solutions, although they failed to clearly identify the third factor. The factor similarity between genders was found very satisfactory using three different methods. The French and English factorial solutions also showed a very good level of similarity in each gender. Finally, the IMP was positively correlated with the Motor Impulsivity subscale of the Barratt Impulsivity Scale-10 (BIS-10) and with Dickman's Dysfunctional Impulsivity scale, and independent of the Spielberger Trait-Anxiety Inventory (TAI). We conclude that IMP and VENT are relatively stable between cultures and can be used reliably in French-speaking samples. |
