Abstract

Researchers at the University of Zaragoza in Spain have conducted a study on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) in a sample of 2969 Spanish young adults. The study aimed to estimate an alternative model of the EPQ that includes social desirability as a control and test its validity and reliability. The results showed that a three-dimension model and a two-dimension model controlling for social desirability best fit the data and were invariant across sexes. The researchers concluded that the model controlling for social desirability is more appropriate due to the weakness of the psychoticism dimension. This study provides valuable insights into the EPQ and its application in the Spanish young adult population. [Extracted from the article]
