The effect of antisymmetrization in diquark models of baryons composed of light (u&d) quarks is investigated. The diquark in this study is considered alternately as a point-like and as a composite particle where antisymmetrization is taken into account by means of Generator Coordinate Model operator kernels. The effect on ground state masses and form factors is striking and we are able to conclude that there is a strong dynamical effect due to the presence of antisymmetrization in diquark models of baryons.
