    (2018) Marques, Ricardo André Mendonça
    There is freedom granted by the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic that safeguards fundamental rights and freedoms. Freedom of Association is recognized in Article 46 of the Constitution provided such associations are not intended to promote violence and their objectives are not contrary to the criminal law. Currently, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security regulates the formation of POs. This responsibility varies depending on the ruling party. Portugal’s legal framework provides a favorable environment to form associations.

    The Dickman Impulsivity Inventory (DII) measures impulsive personality related to both negative and positive behaviors and characteristics. The main aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the DII among a Southern-European sample of Portuguese young adults. Our convenience sample (N = 429, M = 22.11 years, SD = 3.35, range = 18-42), composed of women (n = 237, M = 22.08 years, SD = 3.35, age range = 18-42) and men (n = 192, M = 22.14 years, SD = 3.34, range = 18-35), was collected from a university context. The two-factor latent structure of the DII composed of functional and dysfunctional impulsivity was supported, although three items had to be removed due to low standardized loadings, and strong cross-gender measurement invariance was established. Our analyses of the DII also provided evidence of criterion-related validity, known-groups validity, and internal consistency/reliability. Our findings support the use of the DII among Portuguese young adults.
