Abstract

In recent years, the topic of executive functions has been in the focus of clinical psychology because of the associations that have been observed between the appearance of several clinical symptoms and the underdevelopment of executive functions. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions - Adult Version (BRIEF - A) is a self-reporting questionnaire which aims to measure constructs of the executive functions, such as shifting, inhibitory control, emotion regulation, self-monitoring, initiating, working memory, planning/organizing, task-monitoring, and material organizing. The aim of the study is to create a shorter version of the questionnaire, as well as to examine its psychometric properties, its reliability and validity on a population of 289 Transylvanian Hungarian adults. The three factor model resulting from the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed good fit indices (CFI = .946, ?2/df = 1.88, RMSEA = .056, GFI = .918) during the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), thus assuring construct validity. The short version of the questionnaire proved to be reliable (Cronbach ? = .898) and valid in measuring the executive functions among the Transylvanian Hungarian adult population.
