Abstract
The study relies on the assumption that one of the main effects of phycological empowerment composed by attributes like self-esteem, locus of control, and assertiveness, is increased autonomy. The theoretical arguments are tested based on a structural equation model that allows estimating hypothetical relationships simultaneously. Additionally, differences in means between women and men are estimated for each phycological variable and the hypothetical model is tested separately to both sexes. 1,569 people (56% women) from five Mexican States compose the sample. The average age is 29 years and 59% of the sample has college degrees. The results suggest that psychological empowerment is strongly related to autonomy.

期刊介绍:
The Revista Colombiana de Psicología (RCP) aims to reach educational and cultural institutions interested in the psychological science, as well as psychologists and students of psychology or related disciplines. The goal of the journal is to increase public knowledge about psychology in Latin America by publishing original, peer-reviewed, articles within the several fields of psychology. In this way, RCP aims at creating a stronger academic community in this field in Latin America and to spread state-of-the-art research agendas at the international level. RCP publishes empirical and theoretical works that follow the guide lines accepted by the different scientific and theoretical perspectives in psychology, and presented as essays, meta-analysis, literature reviews and empirical studies.
