Social Desirability Values for California Psychological Inventory Items

Abstract

Social desirability ratings for CPI items were obtained from 68 female and 59 male college students. Simple means and standard deviations of the ratings were compared with previously published scale values and dispersions in the case of 186 overlapping CPI-MMPI items. The results showed high comparability on scale values so that the simple means of the item ratings may be used similarly to previously published MMPI item values obtained by using scaling techniques Simple standard deviations of individual item ratings, however, tended to be generally larger than the associated discriminal dispersions published for such items.
