Este estudio se enmarca dentro del ámbito teórico del constructo «Personalidad eficaz». Se presenta el estudio de validez interna y fiabilidad de un cuestionario en su origen compuesto por 60 ítems aplicado a estudiantes de los ciclos formativos de grado superior de Formación Profesional, reducido finalmente a 24 ítems, superando su inicial coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,84. Se obtienen seis factores de primer orden: autoconcepto social, autoconcepto académico, capacidad resolutiva, autoestima, expectativa de éxito y afrontamiento de problemas. Se obtiene un único factor de segundo orden denominado «Personalidad eficaz». La solución factorial de seis componentes presenta similitud tanto con la versión española para secundaria como las versiones chilena para poblaciones de secundaria y universitaria, diversificando la inicial dimensión de autoconcepto en autoconcepto y autoestima.
Efficient personality questionnaire for profesional training. This study falls within the theoretical framework of the construct of the Efficient Personality. In this work, we present the study of validity and reliability of an original questionnaire made up of 60 items, applied to students from formative cycles of higher Profesional Training. The questionnaire was reduced to 24 items, surpassing its initial .84 Cronbach alpha coefficient. Six first-order factors were obtained: Social Self-concept, Academic Self-concept, Solving Ability, Self-esteem, and Problem Coping. One second-order factor was obtained: Efficient Personality. The six-component factorial solution is similar both to the Spanish version for secondary school and to the Chilean versions for secondary and university populations, dividing the initial dimension of Self-concept into Self-concept and Self-esteem.
