| description | Trolling is a behavior of great psychosocial relevance. However, there are no studies in Argentina that have examined the properties of instruments to evaluate it. The objective of the present work was to observe the properties of the Buckels, Trapnell, & Paulhus’s Trolling Questionnaire (2014). Two samples were constituted, one of 437 subjects and other of 532 participants, both samples from Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires. An exploratory factorial analysis –using the first sample- and a confirmatory –using the second one- indicated a unifactorial structure and measurement invariance. Internal consistency was adequate: Cronbach's alpha = .74, and a composite reliability of .81. Concurrent validity of the Trolling Questionnaire was observed with the problematic use of new technologies and dark personality: Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychotism. In the discussion the implications of these findings. |

Sin embargo, no existen en la Argentina estudios que hayan examinado las propiedades de instrumentos para evaluarlo. El objetivo del presente trabajo era examinar las propiedades del Cuestionario de Trolling de Buckels, Trapnell, y Paulhus (2014). Se constituyeron dos muestras, una de 437 sujetos y otra de 532 sujetos, ambas de Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires y Gran Buenos Aires. Un análisis factorial exploratorio –con la primera muestra- y uno confirmatorio –con la segunda- indicaron una estructura unifactorial e invarianza de medición. La consistencia interna era adecuada: ? de Cronbach = .74, mientras que la confiabilidad compuesta era .81. Se observó validez concurrente del cuestionario con el uso problemático de nuevas tecnologías y la personalidad oscura: maquiavelismo, narcisismo y psicotismo. En la discusión se analizan las implicancias de estos hallazgos.
