Resumen

La Escala Breve de Autocontrol (BSCS, por sus siglas en inglés) es un instrumento de autoinforme ampliamente utilizado para evaluar el autocontrol. Sin embargo, existen desacuerdos respecto a su estructura interna. En este trabajo se realizaron una serie de análisis factoriales confirmatorios (AFC) con el fin de comparar estructuras uni y bidimensionales en una muestra de 848 estudiantes universitarios argentinos (663 mujeres y 185 varones), con un rango etario comprendido entre 18 y 30 años. De manera complementaria, se evaluó la consistencia interna, el ajuste de los modelos teóricos propuestos sobre la estructura interna de la escala, y se realizó un estudio de evidencia de validez de grupos contrastados. A partir de los resultados, se concluyó que el modelo post hoc unidimensional propuesto por Tangney, Baumeister y Boone (2004) es la opción que mejores propiedades psicométricas presentó para ser utilizado con fines de investigación en muestras de estudiantes universitarios argentinos.
