Abstract

Seven methods of deriving the social desirability (SD) score for the Interpersonal Check List were evaluated by examining their intercorrelations, their correlations with five MMPI SD measures, and their ability to detect Ss instructed to fake SD responses. The results indicated that SD Scores discriminated SD fakers about equally well, that SD Scores based only on the tendency to endorse socially desirable items correlated least with MMPI SD measures, and various SD Scores based upon all the items in the Interpersonal Check List were highly correlated. These results were obtained for both college students and psychiatric patients.
