Abstract

The present study examines if there are gender differences in Effective Personality in adult population. We used a sample of 424 adults (54% female and 46% male). Effective Personality Questionnaire-Adult (CPE-A) (Castellanos Cano, Martin Palacio y Dapelo Pellerano, 2012) was used, an instrument consisting of 30 items divided into 4 subscales: Self-Esteem, Job Self-Realization, Resolving capacity and Social self-realization. The analysis of the data indicates that men have a higher average that women in Self-Esteem, Resolving capacity and Social self-realization, while women have a higher average than men in Job Self-Realization. The results show that there were no statistically significant differences in any of the four factors. It can be concluded, with limitations, that the group of men is perceived more favorably in terms of self-steem, social relationships and effectiveness in coping in different situations, but these data do not reach statistical significance. Women are evaluated favorably in terms of work demands. Is necessary to promote the integral development of people irrespective of sex, and not assume capacities and skills because of it.
