Resumen (es)

El Modelo de los Cinco Factores (eem) de la personalidad predomina en la literatura científica y el Inventario de los Cinco Grandes (bfi) constituye una de sus principales evaluaciones. Considerando las limitaciones de estudios previos, el objetivo del presente artículo fue explorar la dimensionalidad del instrumento de evaluación bfi, evaluar los factores de orden superior y analizar sus relaciones con la autoestima, la edad y el sexo de los participantes. Participaron 549 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados indicaron adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para el bei y para el modelo de dos factores de orden superior. Además, se observaron diferencias significativas según el sexo en amabilidad y neuroticismo, relaciones entre edad, neuroticismo y responsabilidad, así como también relaciones entre ambos factores de orden superior y la autoestima.

Resumen (en)

The Five-Factor Model (ffm) of personality predominates in the scientific literature, and the Big Five Inventory (bfi) is one of its main evaluations. Considering the limitations of previous studies, the aim of the present study was to explore the dimensionality of the bfi assessment instrument, to test higher-order factors and to analyze its relations with self-esteem, age, and sex of the participants. A total of 549 university students participated. The results showed adequate psychometric properties for the bfi and for the two-factor model of higher order personality traits. In addition, significant differences were observed by sex in terms of agreeableness and neuroticism, relationships between age, neuroticism, and conscientiousness, as well as relationships between both higher order factors and self-esteem.
