The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale version 11 (BIS-11) among a Portuguese sample of female participants (N D 377, mean age D 16.23 years, SD D 1.38) recruited from forensic and school contexts. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed the expected six-factor first-order structure, but not the three-factor second-order structure. Acceptable levels of internal consistency were mostly obtained, but some dimensions showed somewhat lower than expected values. Convergent validity with measures of psychopathic and callous-unemotional traits, and discriminant validity with a measure of social anxiety was demonstrated. In terms of criterion-related validity significant associations were found with relevant variables (e.g., age of crime onset, conduct disorder symptoms, alcohol, and drug use). The use of the BIS-11 among female juvenile delinquents and community youth is psychometrically justified and it can be considered a useful measure to identify impulsive adolescents.  aPSICOLOGIA  aPSICOMETRIA  aIMPULSIVIDADE  aCOMPORTAMENTO DE RISCO  aDELINQUÊNCIA JUVENIL  aMULHER  aCENTRO EDUCATIVO  aPORTUGAL  aPECHORRObPedro  aGONÇALVESbRui Abrunhosaf1958-  aAYALA-NUNESbLara  aNUNESbCristina  aMAIAbÂngela  j159.9PEC
