The Eysenck personality questionnaire – Revised (EPQ-R): A confirmation of the factorial structure in the Italian context

The aim of the present paper was to examine the factorial structure of the Revised Eysenck personality questionnaire (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1991) in the Italian context and present its psychometric properties. Data from a sample of volunteers belonging to different professional categories and Italian regions were used. The factorial structure of EPQ-R was examined using confirmatory factor analysis. Also invariance across gender was tested by means of a multi-group analysis. Findings confirm the dimensions of the Eysenck personality model for males and females in the Italian context. The invariance across gender was supported. Reliabilities of the subscales were satisfactory. The revised form of the questionnaire can be confidently used also in the Italian context.
