Normative data of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale 11 (BIS-11) for Brazilian adults

Abstract

Our results support the use of the Brazilian adaptation of BIS-11 in different regions of the country as a measure of impulsivity. Since high impulsiveness is a characteristic of several dysfunctional behaviors, the establishment of normative parameters is of utmost relevance and should be extended to other age ranges and populations in future studies.
