Abstract

Eysenck’s PEN model is one of the most relevant and fruitful models with empirical support, and continues eliciting a large research corpus. Nevertheless, the systematic limitations regarding the psychoticism dimension and questionable inclusion of social desirability as a personality dimension have limited the model. The current research aimed to estimate an alternativePEN model including social desirability as a control and test its validity and reliability. This sample consists of 2969 Spanish young adults. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to test the fitting of four different models tothe data. Once the best-fitting model was obtained, multiple-group analyses were carried out to assess the configural, metric, and scalar invariance of themodel across sexes. The results showed that the three-dimension PEN model and two-dimension EN model controlling social desirability best fit the dataand were invariant across sexes. Despite the apparent appropriateness of both models, the EN model controlling for social desirability is more appropriate due to the weakness of the P dimension.

西班牙青壮年修订简略艾森克人格问卷简易版

艾森克的 PEN 模型是最相关、最富有成果的模型之一，得到了实证研究的支持，并不断吸引着大量的研究成果。然而，精神病学维度的系统局限性以及将社会期望作为人格维度的质疑限制了该模型的发展。目前的研究旨在估算一个替代的 PEN 模型，并测试其有效性和可靠性。该样本由 2969 名西班牙年轻人组成。研究人员进行了确认性因素分析，以检验四种不同模型与数据的拟合程度。获得最佳拟合模型后，又进行了多组分析，以评估该模型在不同性别间的构型、度量和标度不变性。结果表明，三维 PEN 模型和控制社会理想度的二维 EN 模型最适合数据，并且在不同性别间具有不变性。尽管这两个模型表面上都很合适，但由于 P 维度的弱点，控制社会可取性的 EN 模型更为合适。
