Abstract
Charisma can be understood as a personality trait that allows one to influence other people. Research on charisma
has predominately focused on leadership, but it can also
be successfully studied in the general population. The
General Charisma Inventory (GCI) has not yet been analysed in different cultures. The current study represents the
first attempt to examine and validate this instrument in
a Spanish-speaking population.
participants and procedure
The GCI was administered in a series of three studies
to a large adult community sample (N1 = 756, N2 = 96,
N3 = 149). A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was
conducted to verify the structure of the GCI. Factorial and
criterion validity was examined in the context of wellbeing and the Dark Triad traits. Measurement invariance
across age and gender of the GCI in a Spanish-speaking
sample was also analysed.
results
The results confirmed the hypothesised two-factorial
structure and therefore the Spanish version of the GCI is
a structurally valid and reliable measure, and its dimensions relate to different outcomes such as well-being and
the Dark Triad.
conclusions
The Spanish GCI could be used in general research on charisma and applied to a wide range of age groups within the
Spanish-speaking context, providing economic screening
for research and practice.
