Reconceptualization of Dark Personality: Towards a New Model Without Theoretical Overlap
Dark personality consists of an association of various socially aversive traits: psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism, etc. Although there are several models for its evaluation, the traits they encompass overlap in content. Thus, a comprehensive theoretical framework is needed, one that integrates the psychological characteristics described in the literature while avoiding overlap in their definitions. After a review of the literature and th…
General versus domain‐specific grit in the work context
Researchers have questioned whether grit should be conceptualized and measured as a global (i.e., domain‐general) or domain‐specific construct. Although evidence is beginning to appear that grit in educational and sport contexts may be measured as domain‐specific, it has not yet been explored in the organizational context. The objective of this research was to study the psychometric properties of grit as domain‐specific for subsequently analyzing…
Ítems tipo Likert vs. Ítems continuos: Qué opción es mejor
Los ítems tipo Likert son comúnmente utilizados en ciencias sociales. Este estudio comprueba si se pueden mejorar las propiedades psicométricas de los autoinformes variando los formatos de respuesta. Los formatos comparados han sido el tipo Likert de cinco alternativas y el VAS (Visual Analog Scale). Para ello, 584 personas (75.2 % mujeres) con una edad media de 32.9 años (DT = 13.4) respondieron a dos cuestionarios online de personalidad que fue…

The study of entrepreneurship is carried out through different approaches, such as social, economic, biological, and psychological. Although no one doubts the…
Examining the Factor Structure of a Risk Assessment Inventory in Young Offenders: FER-R, Risk and Resource Assessment Form
The FER-R, Risk and Resource Assessment Form, is a multidimensional inventory of structured professional judgment that assesses criminogenic risks and resources for the design and management of individualized intervention plans with criminally sanctioned adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the FER-R, reviewing its factorial structure to contribute evidence of convergent and discriminant construct valid…
Empirical Determination of Transitory and Persistent Delinquency in Chilean Youth: Validation of the Criminal Engagement Severity Scale “Eged”
Evidence from several longitudinal studies has established the relevance of the approach of evolutionary criminology to understanding and intervening with adolescent criminal offenders, seeking to halt the criminal behavior before its potential consolidation in adulthood. The aim of this study is to present the psychometric properties of the Criminal Engagement Severity Scale (EGED) to discriminate between transitory and persistent delinquency in…
Moral Disengagement as a Self-Regulatory Cognitive Process of Transgressions: Psychometric Evidence of the Bandura Scale in Chilean Adolescents
Moral disengagement is a process of cognitive restructuring that allows individuals to disassociate from their internal moral standards and behave unethically without feeling distressed. It has been described as a key predictor of maladaptive behaviors (e.g., delinquency, aggression, and cyberbullying) and as a mediator between individual variables and unethical outcomes (e.g., empathy and aggression). We aimed to provide evidence of validity bas…
Resiliencia académica: La influencia del esfuerzo, las expectativas y el autoconcepto académico
Introduction: Academic resilience is defined as getting high marks despite being at a socioeconomic disadvantage. In the present study, it was observed whether Academic Effort, Expectations and Self-Concept are part of academic resilience or would be explaining a good academic performance in general. Method: The participants, a population of 7479 Spanish adolescents (M = 13.87; SD = 0.82), were divided into four groups according to academic perfo…
Grit Assessment: Is One Dimension Enough
Grit is one of the non-cognitive variables that has received the most attention in recent years given its relationship to and influence in various aspects of life. There are very few reliable, valid instruments to evaluate it in Spanish-speaking countries. Because of that, the aim of this study is the development and validation of a new scale to evaluate grit in Spanish-speaking contexts. We used a sample of 531 Spanish participants (60% women) f…

Using reversed items in Likert scales: A questionable practice
BACKGROUND: The use of positively worded items and reversed forms aims to reduce response bias and is a commonly used practice nowadays. The main goal of this research is to analyze the psychometric implications of the use of positive and reversed items in measurement instruments. METHOD: A sample of 374 participants was tested aged between 18 and 73 (M=33.98; SD=14.12), 62.60% were women. A repeated measures design was used, evaluating the parti…
Curricular change and educational quality / Cambio de plan y calidad educativa
There is no doubt that the teaching change generated by the adaptation of the former study programme to the EHEA has led to significant shifts regarding teaching loads and the organization of subjects. This paper assesses the students’ perception of the subject, the teacher and the teaching organization according to the study programme followed. For this purpose, 226 students have been assessed who have all received teaching in the same subject, …
Effect of the Number of Response Categories on the Reliability and Validity of Rating Scales
The Likert-type format is one of the most widely used in all types of scales in the field of social sciences. Nevertheless, there is no definitive agreement on the number of response categories that optimizes the psychometric properties of the scales. The aim of the present work is to determine in a systematic fashion the number of response alternatives that maximizes the fundamental psychometric properties of a scale: reliability and validity. T…
