Keywords: | Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult version; Confirmatory factor analysis; Executive functions; Multiple-group analysis; Reliability | Issue Date: | 21-Nov-2023 | Publisher: | Taylor and Francis Group | Serial title, monograph or event: | Applied Neuropsychology: Adult | Abstract: | This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the two forms (self-report and informant) of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult version (BRIEF-A) in a sample of healthy Portuguese adults. The participants were 608 adults, 304 of whom answered the self-report form (ages 18–59; 137 male and 167 female) and 304 who answered the informant form (ages 18–70; 110 male and 194 female). The internal consistency for the indexes and the Global Executive Composite was very good (_>90), whereas for the scales they were either acceptable (between .70 and .80) or good (_>80), except for the Inhibit scale in both forms. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test seven competing factor models for each of the forms. The original two-factor model (Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition Indexes) showed a slightly better model fit than the three-factor model (Behavioral Regulation, Emotional Regulation, and Metacognition Indexes) in both forms. The multiple-group analysis of the two-correlated-factor model across forms was supported (configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance). Conclusions: Overall, the BRIEF-A showed adequate psychometric properties, suggesting that it is a useful instrument to assess everyday executive functioning in healthy Portuguese adults. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/115217 | DOI: | 10.1080/23279095.2023.2283080 | Rights: | embargoedAccess |
