“…Las características son: Extraversión (alfa = .86; por ejemplo, "2.-Soy el alma de la fiesta"), Estabilidad Emocional (alfa = .86; "32.-Cambio de humor a menudo"), Responsabilidad (alfa = .77; "5.-Siempre mantengo mi palabra"), Amabilidad (alfa = .71; "12.-Respeto a los demás") y Apertura a la Experiencia (alfa = .81; "24.-Me gusta probar cosas nuevas"). Además, en las puntuaciones obtenidas están corregidos los sesgos de deseabilidad social y de aquiescencia mediante la aplicación de procedimientos psicométricos específicos (Ferrando, Lorenzo-Seva y Chico, 2009;.Por otro lado, también se utilizaron algunos correlatos (Del-Líbano et al, 2010) o también denominados indicadores externos (Gimeno, Benavides, Mira, Martínez y Benach, 2004) en forma de preguntas que los informantes debían de contestar. Algunas de ellas hacían referencia a "En términos generales, ¿te sientes saludable?…”

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación al español del inventario WorkBAT de Spence y Robbins (1992) y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Para ello se administró una versión adaptada al español a dos muestras, la primera de ellas de 285 empleados (56.5% mujeres y 43.5% hombres) y la segunda de 342 empleados (52.9% mujeres y 47.1% hombres). A la primera muestra, se aplicó el análisis factorial exploratorio extrayéndose dos subescalas: motivación/implicación y disfute en el trabajo. A la segunda muestra, se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio (ESEM) replicando los resultados anteriores. Ambas subscalas mostraron una buena fiabilidad. Las puntuaciones obtenidas en las mismas fueron relacionadas con diversos correlatos externos y otras escalas mostrando una buena validez convergente y criterial. Los resultados indican que la presente escala puede utilizarse para evaluar la adicción al trabajo y, además, es un instrumento con una apreciable bondad psicométrica. Futuras investigaciones podrían utilizar el WorkBAT como una herramienta de screening en combinación con otros instrumentos. Palabras Clave: Adicción al trabajo; WorkBAT (Spence y Robbins); escala; adaptación español; estudio instrumental.Title: Factorial structure, reliability and validity of the workaholism scale (WorkBAT): Spanish version. Abstract: This study aims to carry out an adaptation into Spanish of Spence and Robbins" WorkBAT inventory (1992) and to analyse its psychometric properties. With this objective in mind a version adapted into Spanish of two samples, the first consisting of 285 employees (56.5% women and 43.5% men) and the second of 342 employees (52.9% women and 47.1% men). The first sample, after it was subjected to an exploratory factor analysis, yielded two subscales: motivation/commitment and enjoyment at work. Confirmatory factor analysis (ESEM) was then applied to the second sample, replicating the previous results. Both subscales showed good reliability. The scores from the scales were then related to various external correlates and to other scales and displayed good convergent and criterion validity. The findings indicate that the present scale can be used to evaluate workaholism and furthermore that it is fundamentally a psychometrically sound instrument. The WorkBAT can be used in future research studies as a screening tool in combination with other instruments. Key words: Workaholism; WorkBAT (Spence y Robbins); scale; spanish adaptation; instrumental study. IntroducciónEl fenómeno de la adicción al trabajo empieza a ser global. Actualmente la investigación no se limita a los Estados Unidos con sus estudios pioneros sobre el tema (Burke, 1999(Burke, y 2001McMillan, Brady, O'Driscoll y Marsh, 2002;Porter, 1996;Robinson, 1996Robinson, , 1998Robinson, , 2000Spence y Robbins, 1992), también se han realizado investigaciones en otros continentes como Asia (Ersoy-Kart, 2005;Huang, Hu, y Wu, 2010;Kanai y Wakabayashi, 2001;Kanai, Wakabayashi, y Fling, 1996), Europa (Andreassen, Hetland y Pallesen,...

“…One procedure that provides an inter-item correlation matrix free not only of AC but also of SD was developed by Ferrando (2005) and Ferrando, Lorenzo-Seva, and Chico (2009). These procedure requires to include in the questionnaire a set of items related to SD, which are taken as markers of SD.…”

“…One of the criteria used to choose the items was to minimize their SD and AC levels and remove from the initial pool of items those with high loadings on SD or AC. The other two questionnaires, the FFPI and the BFI were not initially designed with the method proposed by Ferrando et al (2009), but the effects of SD and AC can also be removed by adding the same four items used in OPERAS as SD markers.…”

Título: Cómo afectan los sesgos de respuesta a la estructura factorial de los tests basados en el modelo de los Cinco Grandes factores de personalidad. Resumen: Diversos estudios muestran que los tests de personalidad pueden verse afectados por los sesgos de respuesta, lo que puede tener consecuencias en su estructura factorial, especialmente en muestras con bajo nivel educativo o adolescentes. El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en determinar cuál es el efecto de la deseabilidad social y la aquiescencia en la estructura factorial de tres cuestionarios basados en el modelo de los Cinco Grandes factores de personalidad: Big Five Inventory, Five Factor Personality Inventory y Overall Personality Assessment Scale. Los datos se analizaron a partir de un nuevo método que elimina los efectos de la deseabilidad social y la aquiescencia de la matriz de correlaciones inter-item utilizada en el análisis factorial. La muestra está compuesta por 392 estudiantes universitarios, por lo que no incluye individuos con bajo nivel educativo, niños o adolescentes. Los resultados indican que, incluso en muestras sin individuos con bajo nivel educativo, controlar la deseabilidad social y la aquiescencia da lugar a una estructura factorial más simple y congruente con la solución teórica esperada a partir del modelo de los Cinco Grandes. Además, los resultados sugieren que en los tests basados en este modelo, este efecto puede ser debido especialmente a la aquiescencia. Palabras clave: Modelo de los Cinco Grandes; personalidad; deseabilidad social; aquiescencia; sesgos de respuesta. Abstract:Several studies have shown that personality self-reports may be affected by response biases, and that this may have consequences on their factor structure, especially in samples with little education or in adolescents. The current study aims to understand the effect of social desirability and acquiescence on the factor structure of three questionnaires based on the Five Factor Model of personality: the Big Five Inventory, the Five Factor Personality Inventory and the Overall Personality Assessment Scale. The data was analysed using a new method that removes the effects of both social desirability and acquiescence from the inter-item correlation matrix used for factor analysis. These effects were assessed in a sample of 392 university students, which contained no individuals with low educational levels, children or adolescents. The results showed that, even in samples with no individuals with low educational levels, controlling for social desirability and acquiescence led to a simpler factor structure that is more congruent with the theoretical solution expected from the five factor model. It also seems that in the domain of inventories based upon the five factor model, this effect may be specially due to acquiescence.

Studying epistemically unwarranted beliefs (EUB) is relevant at basic, applied, and social levels. However, EUB scales validated in Spain are scare. Consequently, we aimed to develop and validate a scale of this kind. One thousand four hundred and sixty participants answered to a preliminary version of the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed the final form of PEUBI: a 36-item instrument with five related factors (Superstitions, Occultism and Pseudoscience, Traditional Religion, Extraordinary Life Forms, and Conspiracy Theories). The results showed that the items were little affected by social desirability bias. PEUBI factor scores showed good internal consistency (estimates between .85 and .97), testretest reliability (estimates between .75 and .93), and convergent-divergent validity.Sociodemographic differences were also explored, observing lower levels of EUB in men, elders, from pure sciences and technology, and atheists. In conclusion, PEUBI is a valid and reliable psychometric instrument to assess paranormal, pseudoscientific and conspiracy beliefs in Spanish adults.
