This study aimed to adapt the Short UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (S-UPPS-P) into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in a Turkish adult sample. The study was conducted with 304 adult participants aged 18-48. The adaptation process followed standard procedures, including translation, back-translation, and assessment of linguistic equivalence. Construct validity was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Discriminant and criterion validity were assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 Short Form, the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, and items evaluating impulsive behaviors in daily life. Reliability was evaluated via internal consistency and split-half methods. Results: The five-factor structure of the S-UPPS-P was consistent with the original version and demonstrated excellent model fit in confirmatory factor analysis. The scale showed high internal consistency (alpha=.85). S-UPPS-P scores were significantly associated with everyday impulsive behavior patterns, and correlations with the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale and the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale supported criterion validity.
