dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv The objective of the present research was to obtain evidences of validity and reliability of the scale of locus of financial control, obtaining differences in structural variables. The study involved 300 university students, 110 men and 190 women, between 18 and 59 years old (M = 21.74; SD = 6.7) from the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City. The locus of control was assessed with items that reflect that obtaining money is contingent on its actions. The results show the psychometric properties of an instrument that incorporates three factors related to the locus of control: internal, affective and external. Additionally, the findings suggest that university students have a higher level of internal and affiliative financial locus of control, differentiated by sex, type of career and level of work efficiency. The discussion analyzes the utility of the results within the Mexican socioculture, that having money is attributed to affective causes, external sources, as well as the decision to own money, which has implications when seeking new income and the contingencies to have it.  
dc.description.es-ES.fl_txt_mv El objetivo de la presente investigación fue obtener evidencias de validez y confiabilidad de la escala de locus de control financiero, además de analizar diferencias en variables estructurales. Participaron en el estudio 300 universitarios, 110 hombres y 190 mujeres, entre 18 y 59 años de edad con una media de 21.74 (DE = 6.7) de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México. El locus de control se evaluó con ítems que reflejan que obtener dinero es contingente con sus acciones. Los resultados muestran las propiedades psicométrica de un instrumento que incorpora tres factores referentes al locus de control: interno, afectivo y externo. Además los hallazgos sugieren que los universitarios tienen un alto locus de control financiero interno y afiliativo, diferenciado por sexo, tipo de carrera y nivel de eficiencia laboral. La discusión analiza la utilidad de los resultados dentro de la sociocultura mexicana, es decir, que lograr tener dinero es atribuido a causas afectivas, fuentes externas, así como por la decisión propia de tener dinero, lo que tiene implicaciones al momento de buscar nuevos ingresos y las contingencias para tenerlo.
