Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to assess the role of medical students' social desirability scores on influencing their attitudes toward either a geriatric or hypochondriac patient. To carry out this investigation, we developed a social desirability scale that was domain-specific for medicine Students' medical social desirability scores predicted negative attitudes and beliefs toward the geriatric but not the hypochondriac patient. This difference suggests that medical students find it acceptable to dislike the hypochondriac as a patient but not the elderly person. Social desirability scores were inversely related to Machiavellian scores, suggesting that medical students with a Machiavellian response pattern tend to view their role as a physician in a less idealized way. Students who scored highest on social desirability tended to choose obstetrics-gynecology for their future career and those with the lowest scores either pathology or surgical subspecialties. Research with this scale should help assess social desirability's role in medical students' skills in managing the impression they leave with patients.

Abstract:
The reported studies investigated two issues of importance to researchers and practitioners interested in the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, the sensitivity or social desirability of the individual items comprising the scale and the continued appropriateness of the original scoring scheme presented in 1960. Analysis indicates that over half of the items may no longer be sensitive enough to be useful. Also, it appears that the original keying may no longer be appropriate for a number of items. Finally, based on these findings, implications for the continued use of the Marlowe-Crowne Scale are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gender differences and relationship between social quotient and how people present themselves in social situations i.e., social desirability. The research study consisted of 25 males and 75 female participants. The participants were asked to complete the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-SDS) and the Measuring Social Intelligence-The MESI Methodology (MESI) scale. The factors of Social Quotient (Empathy, Manipulation, and Social Irritability) were analysed with Social Desirability. The data was analysed using IMB SPSS for Correlation, Simple Linear Regression and Independent Sample t-test. The results showed that there is a weak negative relationship between Manipulation and Social Irritability with Social desirability. Empathy has a positive influence on Social Desirability while Manipulation, and Social Irritability have a negative influence. There was no significant difference in gender between male and female for Social Desirability however in Social Quotient for manipulation, males had a higher score in comparison to females.

Abstract:
Social desirability bias can change the results from marketing experiments and surveys. However, there are few illustrations that show how serious social desirability bias can be. This research starts by reviewing the options for identifying and reducing social desirability bias in experiments and surveys and for controlling its effects. Then two examples that use a social desirability bias scale or a transformation of it (that may improve its utility) as control variables are described. Data from a national panel survey in the United States is used to show that controlling social desirability bias can change the set of demographic variables that are judged to be statistically significant and can have important effects on coefficient sizes. These illustrations will hopefully stimulate more consideration of social desirability bias, more use of bias measures in marketing studies, and more research on the control options.

Abstract:
This research aims to develop a social desirability scale in Indonesian. The method used is mixed method. Participant in the exploration stage amounted to 400 subjects. Whereas, in the second stage, which purposed to identify a psychometric properties (reliability and validity), participant amounted to 501 subjects. Data analysis in the first stage was open coding. For the second stage data analysis consisted of reliability estimation using Cronbach’s Alpha and test of construct validity using factorial validity with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and convergent validity. The Result shows that the scale has a high reliability coefficient (α = 0.76). Whereas, the test of model fit with CFA shows that the scale fits with the data with index of fit value of Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.92, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) = 0.93, Root Mean Square of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.059, and Standardized Root Mean Residual (SRMR) = 0.052. A convergent validity also tested by correlating social desirability Indonesian scale with social desirability scale by Reynolds (1982).

Abstract:
We examined the influence of alexithymia on social desirability among 215 Japanese college students. Alexithymic-scoring students who showed a lack of communicating their feelings to other people were likely to indicate higher scores on hostility and lower scores on social desirability. The scores on hostility were negatively correlated with those on social desirability. Recent studies have shown that alexithymia is positively correlated not only with neurotic and psychotic conditions but also with neuroticism. Unfavorable expression of hostile feelings by alexithymic-scoring students may be related to their lower scores on social desirability.

Abstract:
Partisanship is a stable trait but expressions of partisan preferences can vary according to social context. When particular preferences become socially undesirable, some individuals refrain from expressing them in public, even in relatively anonymous settings such as surveys and polls. In this study, we rely on the psychological trait of self-monitoring to show that Americans who are more likely to adjust their behaviors to comply with social norms (i.e. high self-monitors) were less likely to express support for Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential Election. In turn, as self-monitoring decreases, we find that the tendency to express support for Trump increases. This study suggests that - at least for some individuals - there may have been a tendency in 2016 to repress expressed support for Donald Trump in order to mask socially undesirable attitudes.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to answer the primary question as to whether Product Liability Claims are socially desirable by reference to three Product Liability case studies and a survey of 132 archived Product Liability claims. These constitute a representative random sample of Product Liability cases handled by the Author’s Legal Practice. This practice has provided a window through which serious failings are identified in (i) the strict liability based Product Liability Directive; (ii) tort itself as a mechanism for compensating injured persons; and (iii) the procedural infrastructure in which claims are made, as recently reformed in accordance with Lord Justice Jackson’s recommendations. This thesis tests Product Liability claims against the objectives of tort: deterrence; corrective justice; retribution and vindication; distributive justice and compensation. It is found that Product Liability claims fail to meet the defined standard of social desirability. There is nothing special about products to necessitate or justify a bespoke system of liability. Product Liability claims for damages represent in microcosm the broader picture of personal injury claims as a whole. This thesis highlights the failings of a system which relies heavily on gambling upon outcomes; perpetuates a ‘have a go’ culture; rewards the lucky few; builds in an unacceptable element of moral hazard and tolerates and generates the costs of a high volume of claims which serve no practical or legal purpose. It is concluded that 1. The Product Liability Directive was introduced as an emotive response to the Thalidomide tragedy but it would fail to provide a remedy in a similar disaster. Instead it treats sufferers of minor mishaps as victims and contributes to a litigation industry that inculcates in society a false and unnecessary sense of entitlement. 2. The Product Liability Directive should be repealed as a flawed and misconceived piece of legislation that fails to achieve its key goal of protecting consumers and harmonising the law. 3. Support is found in this practical research for much of what Atiyah advocated in his seminal work The Damages Lottery. The possibility of an all-embracing no-fault liability system should be reconsidered subject to strict controls, including thresholds, to ensure that it compensates and rehabilitates only those with genuine needs. 4. A first party insurance market would have to develop to fill the gaps.

Abstract:
Individuals responding in a socially desirable (SD) fashion, rather than in a manner that reflects their true behavior, has been a problem for self-report questionnaires since their inception. The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that the probability an item is endorsed on a self-report measure of anger is directly proportional to the rated SD of that item. Eighty-two subjects completed the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), the Profile of Moods State (POMS), and the State- Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). A probability of endorsement was computed for each of the measures' items. Twenty additional subjects rated the measures' items for SD. Each item's SD rating was paired with the probability the item was endorsed to produce a correlation coefficient for each measure. Results strongly support the stated hypothesis. Directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Giving behaviour is often studied through self-reports and questionnaires. Despite their obvious advantages, questionnaires are vulnerable to socially desirable responding leading to over-reporting of socially desirable items and vice versa. Yet, this phenomenon has received little to no attention from nonprofit researchers. To address this shortfall, the thesis first explores donors' motivation to give socially desirable responses by developing a conceptual model based on a multi-disciplinary review of social desirability bias and giving behaviour literature. A much better understanding of socially desirable responding via this' conceptual model will help to operationalise social desirability bias concept in the nonprofit context. This study has also identified several social desirability scales that have been used in the past to measure the same response bias. However, further review shows that these scales should be improved psychometrically if they are to be applied in a specific context, as addressed in this study. The author conducted a series of three research stages. The conceptual model was explored and tested using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, mainly in-depth interviews with seven experts as well as postal surveys with 3000 donors from two established animal welfare charities in the UK. This resulted in an improved social desirability scale comprising of 26 scale items. In this study, the effects of socially desirable responding on self-reports of giving behaviour were modelled by matching the self-reported against the actual amount of donations recorded in the charity's database. Structural equation models were presented, linking the proposed eight antecedents of social desirability bias to the discrepancies in the amount of donations. The findings revealed social desirability bias to be a complex multidimensional phenomenon and showed that 'positive self deception' to be a key motive for donors to give socially desirable responses in the realm of postal questionnaires. The study concluded that although the effects of socially desirable responding are relatively small in the realm of postal questionnaire, it remains a mystery whether donors' memory failure may play a bigger role in the discrepancies in the amount of donations reported. Implications of these findings on the development of social desirability bias construct are also explored.

Abstract:
Social desirability refers to the need for social approval or acceptance (Toh, Lee, & Hu, 2006). This need results in the oft-observed human tendency to present oneself in the best possible light (Fisher, 1993), a tendency that may entail research participants giving or selecting the responses that they perceive to be most socially acceptable when completing self-report questionnaires. Whether the product of self-deception or deliberate impression management (Toh et al., 2006), the failure of participants to respond truthfully or accurately when completing self-reports can distort research results (Fisher, 1993; Schriesheim, 1979; Toh et al., 2006) and cast doubt on the validity of findings. This workshop will familiarize attendees with information on the causes of social desirability bias and simple techniques to assess and control social desirability bias in survey research.

Abstract:
Die Themen soziale Erwünschtheit und Faking sind für Psychologen verbunden mit Kontrollinstrumenten, die eingesetzt werden müssen, um Antwortverzerrungen zu vermeiden. Lange Zeit wurde erforscht, ob sozial erwünschtes Verhalten beziehungsweise Faking Konsequenzen hat. Es gibt einzelne Studien, die die Eigenschaft der Konstrukte untersuchen und daran knüpft die vorliegende Arbeit an. Es existieren in den Studien zur sozialen Erwünschtheit und Faking zwei typische Situationen. In Forschungsstudien werden eher unbewusste Prozesse der Antwortverzerrungen untersucht. Studien aus der Praxis beschäftigen sich vor allem mit bewusster Verfälschung. Die erste Studie wurde online durchgeführt, in der Probanden eine Vielzahl von Fragebögen zu den Themen soziale Erwünschtheit, Overclaiming, Overconfidence und Persönlichkeit ausfüllten, um den gemeinsamen Kern eines nomologischen Netzwerkes zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass kein gemeinsamer Kern der Fragebögen gefunden werden konnte. Overclaiming scheint ein eigenes nomologisches Netzwerk zu bilden. Overconfidence kann eher als Fähigkeit der Metakognition als eine Antwortverzerrung bezeichnet. In der zweiten Studie wurde mit einem Model (Ziegler et al., 2015) eine latente Fakingvariable modelliert und anschließend der Zusammenhang zu Skalen der sozialen Erwünschtheit, Overclaiming und den Dark Triad untersucht. Dabei wurden Daten einer Experimentalstichprobe und einer Kontrollgruppe zu zwei Messzeitpunkten erhoben. Die Experimentalstichprobe füllte online zum ersten Messzeitpunkt mehrere Skalen aus. Zum zweiten Messzeitpunkt beantworteten die Probanden im Labor den Persönlichkeitsfragebogen erneut, unter einer zufällig zugeordneten Fakinginstruktion. Die Analyse der Daten ergab bedeutsame Zusammenhänge zwischen der latenten Fakingvariablen und Machiavellismus und einem Faktor zur sozialen Erwünschtheit. Außerdem wurde deutlich, dass der psychologische Prozess für die zwei Faking Situationen unterschiedlich ist.
The issues of social desirability and faking are for many psychologists associated with control instruments to avoid response distortion. For a long time, research questions tended to examine the consequences of faking. There are only a few studies which explored the nature of social desirability or faking, and that is where the current dissertation makes a contribution. In most studies of social desirability or faking, the investigation of response distortion in two different situations is described. On the one hand, unintentional distortion is often explored in research. On the other hand, intentional distortion is examined in the practical field. The first study was an online survey in which the sample completed a large number of questionnaires regarding social desirability, overclaiming, overconfidence, and personality to investigate the common core of a shared nomological network. The results suggest there is no common core among response distortion forms. Overclaiming seems to have its own nomological network. Overconfidence is regarded more as a metacognitive ability rather than a response distortion form. In the second study, by dint of a modeling technique (Ziegler, Maaß, Griffith, & Gammon, 2015), a latent faking variable could be modeled. Subsequently, the relationship between the faking variable and social desirability, overclaiming, and the dark triad was examined. The data of an experimental group and a control group were collected with two measurement occasions. The experimental group was first asked in an online survey to fill out questionnaires. Later the participants came to the laboratory and were randomly assigned to a special instruction group. The results show that Machiavellianism and one factor of socially desirable responding have significant regression weights for both faking conditions. Furthermore, Study 2 implies different psychological processes of faking good and faking bad.

Abstract:
Cross-cultural differences in Social Desirability (SD) could be partly due to the nonequivalence of constructs, items, or other challenges of cross-cultural research. We tested to what extent a Mexican, indigenous scale of SD, capturing both positive and negative features of SD, would be useful in other countries. Data were collected in convenience samples in eight countries (Argentina, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Lebanon, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Spain) in order to test the psychometric accuracy and invariance of the factor structure. Values of Tucker’s factor congruence coefficients (gauging invariance) and tests of the similarity of the cross-country similarity of Cronbach’s alpha (gauging internal consistency) revealed that SD, as measured by this indigenous list, is stable and comparable across cultures. The results are interpreted in a conceptual framework in which SD is viewed as a culturally embedded communication style that people use to integrate successfully into their groups.

Abstract:
Common method variance (CMV) has received little attention within the field of road safety research despite a heavy reliance on self-report data. Two surveys were completed by 214 motorists over a two-month period, allowing associations between social desirability and key road safety variables and relationships between scales across the two survey waves to be examined. Social desirability was found to have a strong negative correlation with the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) sub-scales as well as age, but not with crashes and offences. Drivers who scored higher on the social desirability scale were also less likely to report aberrant driving behaviours as measured by the DBQ. Controlling for social desirability did not substantially alter the predictive relationship between the DBQ and the crash and offences variables. The strength of the correlations within and between the two waves were also compared with the results strongly suggesting that effects associated with CMV were present. Identification of CMV would be enhanced by the replication of this study with a larger sample size and comparing self-report data with official sources.

Abstract:
The present chapter presents two studies examining the differential effects of acquiescence and social desirability on value scores across cultures. In the first study, culture-level acquiescence indexes were extracted from data in eight multinational surveys, and culture-level social desirability scores were obtained from a meta-analysis of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. Both types of indexes were correlated with cultural value dimensions reported in the literature and with indicators of affluence. We found that affluence explains a substantial proportion of the variance in the association of response styles with value scores in all the surveys. The second study investigated effects of score standardization. This study was based on a large cross-cultural data set collected with the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS). We found that value score standardization had some effect on the correlations of acquiescence with various value types, but only limited effects on social desirability. We conclude that affluence affects the relationship of response styles and value scores. Implications for the interpretation of cross-cultural differences in response styles and value surveys are discussed.

Abstract:
This paper contributes to the research on combining public opinion surveys and social media data by a) analyzing the effects of social desirability on the willingness to provide social media account information in surveys, and b) evaluating the congruence of opinions expressed in the survey and on social media. We analyze these questions by considering the willingness to make a sacrifice for the environment, i.e., the willingness to pay higher taxes and higher prices. Our results show that Facebook users who oppose environmental measures are less likely to share their account information in the survey, whereas this effect could not be found among Twitter users. Considering the congruence of opinions expressed in the survey and on Twitter, we find similar tendencies both at the aggregate and the individual level.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a series of experiments on discrimination in urban Lima, Peru. The experiments exploit degrees of information on performance as a way to assess how personal characteristics affect how people sort into groups, and the results show that behavior is not correlated with personal socio-economic and racial characteristics. However, people do use personal characteristics to sort themselves into groups. Height is a robust predictor of being desirable, as is being a woman. Looking indigenous makes one less desirable, and looking "white" increases one's desirability. Interestingly, our experiments show that once information on performance is provided, almost all evidence of discrimination is eliminated. Although there is evidence of stereotyping or preference-based discrimination, clear information trumps discrimination.

Full text
Abstract:
We develop a theory of commodity taxation featuring imperfect competition along with love-of- variety preferences and endogenous firm entry and exit, and we derive new formulas for the efficiency and pass-through of specific and ad valorem taxes. These formulas unify existing canonical ones and feature a new term capturing the effect of variety on consumer surplus. Intuitively, if taxes reduce product varieties in the market, then the impact on social welfare depends on how much consumers value variety. As a proof-of-concept, we use the theoretical formulas to identify love-of variety preferences in an empirical application. Our welfare analysis shows that the marginal excess burden of taxation is very sensitive to the estimated love-of-variety, which can overturn classical results on the desirability of ad valorem versus specific taxation.

Abstract:
School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) remains difficult to measure because of high sensitivity and response bias. However, most SRGBV measurement relies on face-to-face (FTF) survey administration, which is susceptible to increased social desirability bias. Widely used in research on sensitive topics, Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) allows subjects to respond to pre-recorded questions on a computerized device, providing respondents with privacy and confidentiality. This brief contains the findings from a large-scale study conducted in Uganda in 2019 where primary grade 3 students were randomly selected to complete surveys using either ACASI or FTF administration. The surveys covered school climate, gender attitudes, social-emotional learning, and experiences of SRGBV. Through this study, we find that although most survey responses were comparable between ACASI and FTF groups, the reporting of experiences of sexual violence differed drastically: 43% of students in the FTF group versus 77% of students in the ACASI group reported experiencing sexual violence in the past school term. We also find that factor structures are similar for data collected with ACASI compared with data collected FTF, though there is weaker evidence for construct validity for both administration modes. We conclude that ACASI is a valuable tool in measuring sensitive sub-topics of SRGBV and should be utilized over FTF administration, although further psychometric testing of these surveys is recommended.

Full text
Abstract:
Most of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ethiopia and Uganda are adopting e-learning to increased demand for, and to widen access to higher education. However, e-learning has not yet been fully embraced. Adoption of e-learning technologies in many universities in Ethiopia and Uganda is still ad hoc; and efforts towards full utilization of e-learning in HEIs are still undermined by many factors. This study has been conducted to explore institutional policy challenges, strategies, and reforms required to embrace all-inclusive online academic programmes. Guided by explanatory-sequential mixed design, data were collected from 765 participants using key informant interviews(KII), survey questionnaire, and documentary review methods. The study findings revealed that glitches from policy agents, mandate, purpose, publics, effectiveness, fairness, desirability, and affordability of the eLearning policies; as well as responsiveness and policy sustainability were the most critical institutional challenges to implementation of online academic programmes at Gondar and Makerere University. The study also revealed that provision of appropriate student support services, setting realistic assignments, emphasizing staff self-direction, having effective attendance policy, sharing of learning/information materials, professional development, technological, and maintenance of effective communication with students, and maintaining social presence were the key eLearning policy strategies used in implementation of online academic programmes at Makerere University. The study results further revealed that widening access to online programmes, mobilisation of adequate financial resources, engaging in national wide policy reforms, organisational restructuring, employment of adequate qualified staff, curriculum reform and entrenching online courses in the university system are key policy reforms required to embrace implementation of all-inclusive online academic programmes. Hence, it was recommended that something had to be done to: overcome institutional policy challenges; improve eLearning policy strategies used; and to effect inevitable policy reforms required to embrace implementation of all-inclusive online academic programmes at Gondar and Makerere University.

Schuster, Christian. Strategies to Professionalize the Civil Service: Lessons from the Dominican Republic. Inter-American Development Bank, September 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010594.

Full text
Abstract:
Drawing on a case study of recent reforms in the Dominican Republic, this technical note derives lessons about strategies to professionalize the civil service. As in other countries with less professionalized civil services, the Dominican Republic's political economy is biased against reform: promises of public employment tend to be important to successful electoral mobilization. Nonetheless, passage of a new public service law and its partial implementation were achieved. The case study finds that the construction of a broad societal coalition demanding reform may account for this puzzle. For legislative approval, alliance formation extended to not only traditional reform allies, such as the international community, NGOs, business associations, the media, progressive governing legislators and a politically influential minister, but also novel allies, including opposition parties. Reform implementation was fostered by the periodic and well-publicized societal monitoring of an achievable set of reform objectives aligned with the strategic priorities of the Ministry of Public Administration. As a result, political incentives were tilted towards legal reform passage and incremental compliance in civil service subsystems such as organizational structures, information systems and training not perceived as threatening to core electoral mobilization interests, yet not in more politically contentious subsystems, such as recruitment and selection. The case study underscores the desirability of constructing broad societal coalitions to enable civil service professionalization particularly in contexts where potential societal veto actors with vested interests, such as public sector unions, are largely absent. It also underscores the continued weight of political economy constraints in conditioning the subsystems in which civil service reform implementation may be achieved.
