Resumen: 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.
