“…We differentiated three profiles: impulsiveness ( n = 47); ADHD ( n = 7); and non-impulsiveness ( n = 17). Results showed a notable difference between impulsiveness and non-impulsiveness participants; mainly in the facets described by Geurten et al (2018) namely lack of premeditation, positive urgency, and negative urgency (Figure 4).…”

Impulsiveness in adolescents and young adults is an important aspect of psychological research. However, there still is lack of research that relates impulsiveness and motor performance in those. Thus, we aim to detect the levels of impulsiveness related to motor skills, motor laterality, spatial orientation, and individual interaction on the decision-making of adolescents and young adults across three staggered workouts. The study had 71 participants (53 males and 18 females), ranging in age from 17 to 24 years old ( M age = 18.5 years; SD = 1.72) and classified as non-impulsiveness ( n = 47), impulsiveness ( n = 17), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ( n = 7). A Mixed Methods research was conducted throughout four research tools (a) The Observational System of Motor Skills (OSMOS) was used to observe and detect the movement sequences patterns; (b) The Spanish version of Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P) was administered to obtain the impulsiveness profiles; (c) The Precision and Agility Tapping over Hoops (PATHoops) was carried out to observe the decision-making and temporal-spatial over movement effectiveness; (d) Motor Laterality Inventory (MOTORLAT) was applied to obtain the laterality profiles related to motor skills performance. This Mixed Methods approach has obtained useful results for impulsiveness in motor situations as the results from the different tools converge to established three clear profiles of impulsiveness. Participants with ADHD showed lack of interpersonal interaction, non-resolute decision-making, and lesser richness of motor skills patterns than non-impulsiveness and impulsiveness subjects. Additionally, impulsiveness participants also showed rich motor patterns, dyadic interactions, good decision making in spatial orientation tasks, and more versatile laterality in the lower limbs.

“…Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio de la BUPPS-P NA indican una estructura de cinco dimensiones latentes correlacionadas (urgencia negativa, urgencia positiva, falta de premeditación, falta de perseverancia y búsqueda de sensaciones). Esta estructura replica la estructura de las versiones completas (Gunn y Smith, 2010;Cyders et al, 2007;Whiteside y Lynam, 2001) y de las breves (Claréus et al, 2017;D´Orta et al, 2015;Geurten et al, 2018). Estos resultados suman evidencia y apoyo al modelo teórico de la UPPS-P, el cual se constituye como una propuesta válida y estable para medir impulsividad rasgo.…”

“…A partir de los resultados del AFC, se seleccionaron los 20 ítems para la versión breve (BUPPS-P NA). La selección de los ítems se realizó siguiendo estos criterios (Cupani y Lorenzo-Seva, 2016): (1) altos coeficientes estandarizados de cada variable latente sobre la variable (i.e., indicador) observable; (2) ausencia de cargas compartidas en dos o más dimensiones y de correlaciones entre los residuos (verificado a partir de las sugerencias de los índices de modificación); (3) evitar redundancia de contenido y (4) correspondencia con los ítems de la versión breve en francés (Geurten et al, 2018).…”

Validation of the Spanish version of the brief UPPS-P Impulsivity Scale for children and adolescents (BUPPS-P NA)Abstract: The Scale of Impulsivity for Children and Adolescents (UPPS-P NA) is a self-report instrument that assesses the impulsivity trait in children and adolescents. However, the UPPS-P NA does not have a short version in Spanish. The present study aimed to develop and validate a short Spanish version of the UPPS-P NA (BUPPS-P NA). First, the UPPS-P NA questionnaire was adapted to Spanish and validated in a sample of 257 children and adolescents (M age = 12.87, SD = 5.64; 61.9% female). Then, the BUPPS-P NA was developed and validated in a sample of 1777 children and adolescents (M age = 12.59, SD = 1.37; 54.2% women). The invariance of the BUPPS-P NA as to biological sex was evaluated also. The UPPS-P NA and BUPPS-P NA scales showed an adequate fit to the data. Also, the BUPPS-P NA Scale was invariant across sex. In summary, the BUPPS-P NA Scale presents adequate psychometric properties to measure the impulsivity trait in children and adolescents.Keywords: Trait impulsivity; childhood; adolescence; validity; reliability; invariance across sex.Resumen: La Escala de Impulsividad para Niños y Adolescentes (UPPS-P NA) es un instrumento de autoinforme que mide los rasgos de impulsividad en niños y adolescentes. Sin embargo, no posee una versión breve en español. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar y validar una versión breve (BUPPS-P NA) y en español de la UPPS-P NA. Para ello, primero se adaptó al español el cuestionario UPPS-P NA y se validó en una muestra de 257 niños y adolescentes (Medad = 12.87, DT = 5.64; 61.9% mujeres). Posteriormente, se desarrolló y validó el cuestionario BUPPS-P NA en una muestra de 1777 niños y adolescentes (Medad = 12.59, DT = 1.37; 54.2% mujeres). También se evaluó la invariancia del BUPPS-P NA en cuanto al sexo biológico. Los cuestionarios UPPS-P NA y BUPPS-P NA presentaron un ajuste adecuado a los datos. Asimismo, el cuestionario BUPPS-P NA resultó invariante en función del sexo. En resumen, la escala de impulsividad BUPPS-P NA presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para medir impulsividad rasgo en niños y adolescentes.Palabras clave: impulsividad rasgo; niñez; adolescencia; validez; fiabilidad; invarianza en función del sexo.

Considering Developmental Phenotypes of Suicidality for Young Black Children

Suicide is currently the 5th leading cause of death among children aged 5–11, a rate that has more than tripled in the last decade, and one that has increased significantly more among Black compared to White children. Specifying early childhood phenotypes of suicidality is critical for prevention of suicidal behavior. Such phenotypes need to be culturally relevant and rigorously tested in Black youth to yield data that will inform prevention science. We used the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, to guide both the development of a theoretical model and a research protocol to conduct a study on suicidality in young Black children. The model was informed by an ecological adaptation which considers the context of structural, systemic, and interpersonal racism as critical for conceptualizing suicidal risk and identifying factors that reduce the likelihood of suicidal ideation and behaviors among Black youth. Developmental adaptations of IPTS components were based on existing research supporting associations between theoretically similar constructs and early childhood depression and/or later suicidality. Model components include loneliness and lack of family connectedness, low self‐worth and hopelessness, and impulsivity. The components are measured via questionnaires and reactivity to behavioral probes as measured by facial emotion, heart rate variability, and self‐reported mood. Risk and protective factors include exposure to racism and discrimination and racial identity and socialization, respectively. An accelerated, longitudinal design, enrolling 5–9‐year‐old children for 6 repeated assessments over 45 months will allow us to test stability from early childhood to early adolescence. Conducting robust tests of early risk and stability of suicidality in the context of culturally relevant risk factors (e.g., racism) and protective factors (e.g., racial socialization and identity) will contribute to efforts to reverse recent trends in Black youth suicide.
