Resumen

El modelo PEN de Eysenck es uno de los modelos con evidencia empírica más relevantes y fructíferos que sigue suscitando investigación. Sin embargo, las limitaciones sistemáticas del modelo relacionadas con la dimensión de psicoticismo y la inclusión de la deseabilidad social como dimensión de personalidad han limitado al modelo. El objetivo de la investigación actual fue estimar un modelo PEN alternativo, incluyendo la deseabilidad social como control, y testar su validez y fiabilidad. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 2962 españoles adultos jóvenes. Se evaluó el ajuste de cuatro modelos diferentes a los datos. Una vez establecido el mejor ajuste, se llevó a cabo un análisis multigrupo para evaluar la invarianza configural, métrica y escalar por sexos. Los resultados indicaron que el modelo PEN de tres dimensiones y e modelo EN de dos dimensiones, controlando la deseabilidad social, tenían el mejor ajuste a los datos y eran invariantes entre sexos. A pesar de la aparente adecuación de los modelos, el modelo EN, controlando la deseabilidad social, se consideró más apropiado atendiendo a las debilidades de la dimensión P.
