The primary aim of the present study was to adapt the Brief Sensation- Seeking Scale (BSSS) for use in research on youths atrisk for delinquency. With a sample of 412 male and female participants (M = 13.19 years, SD = 1.41) from Portugal, confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the one-factor latent structure of the scale obtained a good fit, and measurement invariance across gender was demonstrated. The BSSS showed mostly good psychometric properties, namely in terms of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha and omega coefficient), convergent validity (with delinquent behaviors and dark triad traits of personality), discriminant validity (with self-esteem and self-control), and criterionrelated validity (with health-risk behaviors such as drug use, unprotected sex) that overall justifies its use among the adolescent population at risk for delinquency.  aPSICOLOGIA9705  aJOVEM9100424  aDELINQUÊNCIA JUVENIL9689  aCOMPORTAMENTO ANTI-SOCIAL96224  aCOMPORTAMENTO DE RISCO96300  aTOXICODEPENDÊNCIA94612  aPORTUGAL9279  aPECHORRObPedro912970  aCASTRObAna 9106808  aHOYLEbRick H.912989  aSIMÕESbMário R.99008  j159.9PEC  104159_000000000000000_9PEC52021-12-1763831915476aDGRSPcDGRSPfDGRSP38311237046k159.9PECn2021-12-17o0rMOxoferta
