This study assessed the functioning and measurement properties of Rotter's Locus of Control Scale in its Spanish version by using a new approach based on Item Response Theory. Our procedure allows us: (a) to detect the impact of response biases (acquiescence and social desirability); (b) to evaluate clearly the test dimensionality and structure; (c) to evaluate and understand the causes of some items' inefficiency; and (d) to increase measurement precision. Globally, the results do not contradict those obtained in previous research, but allow some of the criticisms the scale had received to be qualified. Some recommendations for use are proposed.
本研究采用基于项目反应理论的新方法，评估了西班牙语版罗特控制点量表的功能及测量特性。我们的程序使我们能够：(a) 检测反应偏差（默许和社会期望）的影响；(b) 清晰评估测验的维度和结构；(c) 评估并理解某些项目低效的原因；以及 (d) 提高测量精度。总体而言，结果与先前研究所得结果并不矛盾，但对该量表所受到的一些批评进行了限定。文中还提出了一些使用建议。
