| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of the present study was to examine Culture and sexual differences in impulsivity among university students using The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11). In this study we used two samples, one from Egyptian (N = 450) and one from Saudi Arabian (N = 396) university students, to close this gap and to observe differences between sexes and cultures. Cultural differences were found with on average impulsivity in Saudi Arabia than in Egypt. Sex differences differed not only in magnitude but also in direction. Males showed on average higher impulsivity in Saudi Arabia but females in Egypt. Differences were larger between cultures than between sexes. Indications for further research are discussed. | ||||
