Palabras clave: response bias personality factor structure
Resumen: Background: Various studies have shown that acquiescence can distort
the factor structure of personality questionnaires based on the fi vefactor
model. In the present study, we analysed how acquiescence and
social desirability affect the factor structure of a measure based on this
personality model and a measure of aggression. Method: We analysed
the factor structures of both tests before and after removing both biases
in a sample of 532 adolescents aged between 11 and 18 (M= 14.75, SD=
2.1). Results: The factor structure of both tests presented a worse fi t to the
expected model when response bias was not controlled, and the congruence
indexes for the personality and aggression measures showed a moderate
(from C= .948 to C= .872) or great (from C= .931 to C= .475) decrease,
respectively. Furthermore, acquiescence was largely responsible for these
effects, and social desirability effects were only shown on the aggression
measure. Conclusions: Response bias, and especially acquiescence,
should be controlled during the development of personality measures to
avoid distorting them, especially with samples of people with a high level
of acquiescence (for example, those with little education, the young or the
elderly). Furthermore, the use of response bias loadings as a criterion for
choosing the items minimizes those distortions.
