Abstract
542 Canadian boys and 508 Canadian girls completed the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire as well as the I0 Junior Impulsiveness Inventory. Separate factor analyses of boys' and girls' I0 responses yielded results similar to those obtained for British children although several items were either dropped or moved to a different scale. Correlations between the I0 and junior scales resembled those reported for British children. Reliabilities of the three I0 scales were satisfactory, with the possible exception of Empathy for girls. Means and standard deviations for the three I0 scales for the 8 Canadian age groups showed boys scored higher than girls on impulsiveness and venturesomeness but lower on empathy.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
