Abstract.GENDER DIFFERENCES IN EFFECTIVE PERSONALITY IN CHILEAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTSEffective 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.Keywords. Effective Personality, University students, Gender, Chile.Resumen.La Personalidad Eficaz es un constructo multidimensional desarrollado por el Dr. Martín del Buey y la Dra. Martín Palacio, que cuenta con una estructura confirmada psicométricamente. La Personalidad Eficaz está conformada por cuatro esferas del Yo: Fortalezas; Demandas; Retos y Relaciones. En la presente comunicación se pretende estudiar si existen, a nivel de género, diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el constructo de Personalidad Eficaz en los estudiantes universitarios chilenos. La muestra está formada por 736 estudiantes de cuatro universidades de la quinta región de Chile. Participaron 517 mujeres (70.2%) y 219 hombres (29.8%). Para realizar la evaluación se empleó el Cuestionario Personalidad Eficaz-Universidad (CPE-U) (Dapelo y Martín del Buey, 2006). Esta herramienta cuenta con cuatro subescalas: Autoestima; Autorrealización Académica; Autoeficacia Resolutiva y Autorrealización Social. Tras el análisis de datos correspondientes, se encontró que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los factores de: Autoestima (t=-3,039, p=,002); Autorrealización Académica (t=2,331, p= ,020); y Autoeficacia Resolutiva (t= -3,464, p= ,001). Sin embargo, se encontró que no hay diferencias significativas en Autorrealización Social (t= -,967, p= ,334). Las mujeres presentan medias superiores en el factor Autorrealización Académica; mientras que el grupo de los hombres muestra una media superior a las mujeres en los factores Autoestima; Autoeficacia Resolutiva y Autorrealización Social, aunque en éste último las discrepancias por género no son significativas estadísticamente.Palabras Clave.

This cross-cultural study investigated a moderated indirect effect model in which country membership and familismo were hypothesized to moderate the direct and indirect effects of attachment insecurity on well-being variables. A total of 360 Mexican university students from Mexico and 235 Mexican American university students from the United States completed research questionnaires. Results indicated that insecure attachment was associated with depressive symptoms and life satisfaction via an indirect effect of social self-efficacy (SSE) and that the indirect effects of attachment avoidance varied significantly by country membership. Familismo was also found to be a significant moderator for the direct effects of attachment anxiety on life satisfaction. Finally, several significant three-way interactions were found suggesting that the buffering effects of familismo on the direct and indirect paths of insecure attachment on SSE and outcome variables vary significantly by country membership. The limitations and implications are discussed.
