    The Dickman Impulsivity Inventory (DII) is a widely used instrument for assessing functional and dysfunctional impulsivity. This study aimed to analyze evidence of the construct validity of the DII with a Colombian sample. A non-probabilistic sample of 422 Colombian adults (43.86% male, Mage=33.70 years, SD=11.61) participated voluntarily. The instrument used was the translated and adapted version of the DII, composed of 23 items (11 for functional impulsivity, 13 items for dysfunctional impulsivity). An exploratory factor analysis yielded a rotated factor solution with two uncorrelated dimensions, after excluding six items. A confirmatory factor analysis supported a model with a second-order impulsivity factor after the removal of five additional items. In conclusion, an abbreviated version of the DII with favorable evidence of construct validity was obtained for the Colombian context.

    El Inventario de Impulsividad de Dickman [DII] es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado para la medición de la impulsividad funcional y disfuncional. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las evidencias de la validez de constructo del DII con una muestra colombiana. Se empleó una muestra no probabilística de 422 participantes colombianos (43.86% hombres), voluntarios mayores de edad (M=33.70, DS=11.61). Se utilizó la versión traducida y adaptada a España del DII, compuesta por 23 ítems (11 ítems para IF, 13 ítems para ID). Se obtuvo una solución factorial rotada de dos dimensiones no correlacionadas en el AFE. Luego, en el AFC se comprobó que el modelo con un factor de segundo orden de impulsividad luego de eliminar cinco ítems de este último modelo. En conclusión, se obtuvo una versión abreviada del DII con favorables evidencias de validez de constructo con la muestra colombiana.
