The present research built on the Self-Reported Delinquency interview and the Antisocial
Behavior Scale to develop an updated brief instrument to measure antisocial behavior. College
students (n = 3188, 67.75% women) from the USA, Argentina, the Netherlands and
Spain completed an online survey. Analyses that combined approaches from the Classical
Test Theory and Item Response Theory were conducted to select the items for the brief version.
Findings suggested that a 13-item Brief Antisocial Behavior Scale (B-ABS) fulfilled the
high-quality criteria: salient factor loadings, adequate discrimination, variability in response
endorsement, adequate fit based on infit/outfit values, nondifferent item functioning across
the four participating countries, and Cronbach’s alpha and ordinal omega coefficients higher
than .70. The B-ABS scores generally significantly correlated with personality scores, mental
health and marijuana outcomes, showing criterion-related validity evidence. Our overall
findings suggest that B-ABS adequately assesses antisocial behavior in young adults from
different countries/cultures. [-]
