Efecto de los rasgos de personalidad sobre el autocontrol en estudiantes universitarios de Argentina
Resumen
Los rasgos de personalidad han sido propuestos como posibles factores que pueden contribuir a explicar las diferencias individuales en el autocontrol. Sin embargo, los resultados reportados en la literatura sobre el tema son, en cierta medida, contradictorios. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el efecto de los cinco rasgos de personalidad sobre el autocontrol en estudiantes universitarios de Argentina. Los análisis de correlación evidenciaron un patrón de correlaciones positivas entre las puntuaciones en autocontrol y los rasgos responsabilidad y amabilidad, así como relaciones negativas entre neuroticismo y las medidas de autocontrol. A su vez, se presentaron correlaciones negativas entre el rasgo apertura a la experiencia y la dimensión control de los impulsos. Los análisis de regresión mostraron que los rasgos de personalidad en su conjunto explican el 43% de la varianza en la escala de autocontrol completa, el 28% de la varianza en la dimensión Control de los impulsos y el 42% de la varianza de la dimensión Autodisciplina, destacándose el rasgo responsabilidad como variable predictora de las puntuaciones en los tres casos.
