“…Descriptive statistics for each of the individual-level measures described The total length of the follow-up period (in days) less any days spent in a psychiatric hospital or jaiUprison SILVER above are provided in Table 2.1 Overall, the characteristics of the sample are comparable to those reported in prior studies of psychiatric patient samples (Barratt, 1994;Estroff and Zimmer, 1994;Novaco, 1994;Swartz et al, 1998). The mean five-category SES score of 1.7 (S.D.…”

Prior studies of violence among individuals with mental illnesses have focused almost exclusively on individual‐level characteristics. In this study, I examine whether the structural correlates of neighborhood social disorganization also explain variation in violence. I use data on 270 psychiatric patients who were treated and discharged from an acute inpatient facility combined with tract‐level data from the 1990 U.S. Census. I find that living in a socially disorganized neighborhood increased the probability of violence among the sample, an effect that was not mediated by self‐reported social supports. Implications for future research in the areas of violence and mental illness are discussed.

“…It was hypothesized that prison inmates would score higher than other groups on the BIS-11 based on their general lack of impulse control as demonstrated in a study of the "impulsivist personality" (Stanford & Barratt, 1992) and in their higher scores on the BIS-11 in the early stages of the present study (Barratt, 1994b). Psychiatry patients were hypothesized to score higher than normals, especially patients with a substance abuse disorder, which has been theorized to be an impulse control problem that involves the trait of impulsiveness (O'Boyle & Barratt, 1 993).…”

Factor structure of the barratt impulsiveness scale

The purpose of the present study was to revise the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Version 10 (BIS‐10), identify the factor structure of the items among normals, and compare their scores on the revised form (BIS‐11) with psychiatric inpatients and prison inmates. The scale was administered to 412 college undergraduates, 248 psychiatric inpatients, and 73 male prison inmates. Exploratory principal components analysis of the items identified six primary factors and three second‐order factors. The three second‐order factors were labeled Attentional Impulsiveness, Motor Impulsiveness, and Nonplanning Impulsiveness. Two of the three second‐order factors identified in the BIS‐11 were consistent with those proposed by Barratt (1985), but no cognitive impulsiveness component was identified per se. The results of the present study suggest that the total score of the BIS‐11 is an internally consistent measure of impulsiveness and has potential clinical utility for measuring impulsiveness among selected patient and inmate populations.

“…Individuals with a preference to delay rather than advance the onset of an inevitable criminal sanction were 22 percentage points more likely to cheat. To assess whether the preference for delay corresponded with other measures of present-orientation, we gave participants a six-question self-inventory scale that elicited Likert-type responses to six statements from the Barratt Impulsivity Index (Bachorowski and Newman, 1985;Barratt, 1959) and NEO Personality Inventory (Costa and McCrae, 1985).9 Participants indicating a preference for delay had significantly higher impulsivity scores. 10 We also find an association between self-serving bias and cheating.…”

An Experimental Investigation of Deterrence: Cheating, Self‐serving Bias, and Impulsivity*

This paper reports results from a randomized experiment in which 256 participants recruited to complete a survey could earn extra payment by cheating on a quiz. We report the first deterrence experiment that incorporates significant elements of situational and individual difference theories of crime into a single analytic framework. Consistent with extant deterrence research, the prevalence of cheating was lower when detection was more certain but not when the penalty was more severe. Further, cheating was more likely among participants with stronger present‐orientation, or who were prone to self‐serving bias.
