SESGO DE GÉNERO EN LA MEDICIÓN DEL NEUROTICISMO

Abstract

Research about Eysenck's Neurosis (N) Scales undoubtedly confirm, in different cultural environments, that women obtain a significant higher punctuations in contrast to men. From the result of this investigation could be infered that neurosis in women seem to be only an effect of slant from measurement instrument, instead of a characteristic of female gender as it has been outlined at present. It affects psychologic research in at least two aspects: 1. Scientific: starting investigations directed to review all psychologic conceptualization about neurosis; and 2. Ethic: cease ideology from a gender perspective, related to the conceptualization of neurosis.
