Gender differences in effective personality in chilean university students
Main Article Content
Abstract
Effective Personality is a multidimensional construct, which has a psychometrically confirmed structure, developed by Dr. Martin del Buey and Dr. Martín Palacio. Effective Personality consists of four areas of Self: Strengths, Demands, Challenges and Relationships. In the present communication we want to study if there are, at gender level, statistically significant differences in the construct of Effective Personality in Chilean university students. The sample consists of 736 students from four universities in the fifth region of Chile. 517 women (70.2%) and 219 men (29.8%) participated. For evaluation Effective Personality Questionnaire-University (CPE-U) (Dapelo and Martín del Buey, 2006) was used. This tool has four subscales: Self-Esteem, Self-Empowerment Academy, Antitrust Self-efficacy and Social Self-realization. After analyzing relevant data, it was found that there were significant differences in factors: Selfesteem (t = -3.039, p = .002), Academic Self-Realization (t = 2.331, p = .020), and Antitrust Self-Efficacy (t = -3.464, p = .001). However, we found no significant differences in Social Self-Realization (t = -, 967, p =, 334). Women got a higher average in the Academic Self-realization factor, while the group of men shows a higher average than women in factors Esteem, Antitrust Self-Efficacy and Social Self-Realization, although in the latter the gender differences are not statistically significant.
