    Introduction We live in a society marked by the speed and immediacy of digital systems that cause an inclination towards instant gratification. This trend is having a direct impact on university contexts, affecting how students approach their academic tasks. Aim To design and validate an instant gratification scale in the context of university academic tasks (GI-12). Method An instrumental study was conducted with an intentionally non-probabilistic sample of 1,145 university students from both sexes across the three regions of Peru. The instrument was developed in 10 stages following the recommendation of experts in the field. The first version consisted of 27 items with response options in a five-point Likert format. The analysis aimed to assess content-based validity, internal structure-based validity, and reliability. Results All items proved to be clear, relevant, and representative (V > .70). The analysis with AFE suggested an underlying structure of two factors: avoidance of prolonged effort (F1) and search for immediate gratification and distraction (F2), composed of 12 items (KMO = .91, Bartlett = p ≤ .001), with factor loadings greater than the cut-off .40 (.42 and.81). Subsequently, the AFC corroborated this structure (RMSEA = .041, SRMR = .045, CFI = .968). Regarding its reliability, it achieved an Omega coefficient of 0.88 for the first factor and 0.79 for the second factor. Conclusion The IG-12 presents its first psychometric evidence, which suggests that this tool is valid and reliable. In this way, it is the first measure with which the tendency to prefer immediate rewards over prolonged efforts required in the fulfillment of university academic tasks can be evaluated.

    Background: In Peru, there are alarming statistics regarding traffic accidents caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol and emotional problems. Objective: This study aimed to identify whether alcohol consumption and depressive symptoms are predictors of the perception of risky behaviors in drivers. Method: The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a predictive scope, non-experimental design, and cross-sectional study. A non-probabilistic sample of 310 drivers aged 18 to 54 years was used, of whom 95% were male. The study utilized the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Aversion to Risk Taking Scale to assess the participants. Results: Four out of 10 drivers exhibited depressive symptoms, and 7 out of 10 presented alcohol consumption issues. Regarding linear regression, an increase in alcohol consumption and depressive symptoms predicted 48.3% of the variance in the perception of risky driving behaviors. Conclusion: It is concluded that increased depressive symptoms and alcohol consumption are predictors of a decreased perception of risky driving behaviors. Future studies could implement interventions aimed at reducing risky behaviors by addressing depression and alcohol dependency in drivers.
