Resumo: | In last few years, the use of confi rmatory factor analysis (CFA) has become dominant in structural validation of psychological tests. However, the requirement of latent variables only loading on specific target items introduces some constraints on the solutions found, namely a factor solution that links some items only in one specific dimension. The most recent use of exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), which allows items to be predominantly related to a factor, with non-zero loadings on other factors, has been identifi ed as the one that best respects the proper functioning of the assessed psychological attributes. Method: In this study we compared the two approaches to structural validity using the answers of a sample of 2,478 fi rst-year higher education students to a multidimensional questionnaire of academic expectations. Results: The results show clear gains in information collected when combining CFA and ESEM. Conclusions: In conclusion, some implications are highlighted for research and practice of psychological assessment. |

Sin embargo, el requisito de que las variables latentes únicamente carguen sobre algunas de las respectivas dimensiones de destino conlleva algunas restricciones a las soluciones obtenidas; es decir, una solución factorial que requiere la vinculación de ciertos ítems solo en una dimensión. El uso más reciente del Modelo Exploratorio de Ecuaciones Estructurales (ESEM), que permite que los ítems puedan ser predominantemente relacionados con un factor y con cargas diferentes a cero en otros factores, ha sido identifi cado como aquel que mejor respeta el buen funcionamiento de los atributos psicológicos evaluados. Método: en este estudio, con las respuestas de una muestra de 2.478 estudiantes de primer año de la enseñanza superior a un cuestionario multidimensional de expectativas académicas, hemos comparado los dos enfoques de validez estructural. Resultados: los resultados muestran claros benefi cios en la información recopilada al combinar el AFC y el ESEM.
