Zusammenfassung
Einleitung: Impulsives und aggressives Verhalten sind wichtige Charakteristika einer Reihe von psychischen Störungen und spielen möglicherweise eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Pathogenese von suizidalem Verhalten und bei Abhängigkeitserkrankungen. Ziel dieser Studie ist, die Evaluation eines Fragebogens zur Erfassung impulsiven Verhaltens, der Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (Version 5) für eine deutsche Stichprobe hinsichtlich konvergenter und diskriminanter Validität vorzunehmen. Methoden: Die Einzelfragen des BIS-5 wurden durch zwei unabhängige Mitarbeiter ins Deutsche übersetzt und rückübersetzt. 159 alkoholabhängige und 77 suizidale stationär-psychiatrisch behandelte Patienten sowie 182 gesunde Kontrollpersonen wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Impulsivität mit diesem Messinstrument befragt. Ergebnisse: Die Faktorenanalyse ergab eine 2-Faktoren-Lösung für die Stichprobe. Alkoholkranke wiesen gegenüber Patienten mit einer Vorgeschichte suizidalen Verhaltens erhöhte Werte im Faktor 1 auf. Demgegenüber zeigte die Gruppe der suizidalen Patienten signifikant höhere Skalenwerte für den Faktor 2 gegenüber den gesunden Kontrollen. Der Faktor 1 korrelierte am höchsten mit Extraversion und verwandten Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, der 2. Faktor zeigte die engsten Zusammenhänge zu Reizbarkeit und Neurotizismus. Diskussion: Die Ergebnisse mit einer 2-Faktoren-Lösung der BIS-5-Einzelfragen bietet die Möglichkeit, diesen Fragebogen zur Erfassung impulsiven Verhaltens im deutschen Sprachraum anzuwenden. Unter Berücksichtigung der Zusammenhänge mit anderen Persönlichkeitskonzepten können die beiden Faktoren dazu beitragen, unterschiedliche Teilaspekte impulsiven Verhaltens bei psychiatrischen Stichproben näher zu charakterisieren.
Abstract
Objective: Impulsive traits are key characteristics in a number of psychiatric disorders and are part of the normal behavior spectrum. The BIS-5 is an instrument developed to assess impulsivity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the BIS-5 in two German psychiatric inpatient samples and healthy controls proving the originally proposed four-factor structure as well as convergent and discriminate validity. Methods: 159 alcohol-dependent subjects and 77 suicidal inpatients were recruited in an University psychiatric hospital. 182 healthy subjects were recruited from town community. BIS-5 items were translated and back-translated. Principal component analysis with oblique rotation was conducted in the whole group. Furthermore, the discriminate and convergent validity of the BIS-5 was evaluated by correlation with other instruments measuring impulsive traits and comparing sample subgroups. Results: A two-factor solution could be identified in this German sample. Alcohol-dependent individuals showed significantly higher factor 1 values compared to suicidal patients. The group of suicidal patients had higher scores in factor 2 compared to controls. Factor 1 correlated most significantly with extraversion-related personality traits while factor 2 showed significant relationships with irritability and neuroticism. Conclusions: A two-factor solution may be more appropriate in using the BIS-5 scale in German samples. These two factors might reflect different aspects of impulsive behavior and might be useful to characterize impulsive behavior in psychiatric and non-psychiatric samples.
