• Resumen

  • Se evalúa el funcionamiento y propiedades de medida de la versión española de la escala de Locus de Control de Rotter; dicha evaluación utiliza un nuevo enfoque basado en la teoría de respuesta al ítem. Nuestro procedimiento permite: (a) detectar el impacto de los sesgos de respuesta (aquiescencia y deseabilidad social); (b) evaluar de forma clara la dimensionalidad y estructura del test; (c) evaluar las posibles causas del defi ciente funcionamiento de algunos ítems; y (d) incrementar la precisión de la medida. Globalmente, los resultados no contradicen lo obtenido en estudios previos, pero permiten matizar algunas de las críticas que ha recibido la escala. Se proponen algunas recomendaciones para su uso.
