Measuring Social Desirability: Short Forms of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale

Abstract: A practical difficulty with the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (SDS) is its length. Preferring a shorter measure of social desirability, researchers have devised a number of short forms of the SDS. The present study used confirmatory factor analysis to establish the adequacy of these subscales in measuring social desirability. Results showed that (a) of the six short forms of SDS considered two models (XI and X2) provide the best measures of social desirability, (b) improved measures of all of the mo… Show more

“…Besides the recoding of perceived CWB occurrence, a social desirability scale was also administered together with the survey. The current study employed the Fischer and Fick (1993) short version of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (SDS), which is highly tested for its reliability in predicting socially conscious participants (Andrews & Meyer, 2003;Barger, 2002;Leite & Beretvas, 2005;Loo & Thorpe, 2000;Thompson & Phua, 2005). To check for social desirability issues, correlations were computed between the CWB-T factors and SDS.…”

“…Given the sensitive nature of the topic, social desirability was controlled for by administering the short version of Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Leite, 2005). Based on norms from previous studies, those with a score of 7 and above were eliminated from the sample (Fischer & Fick, 1993). A total of seven respondents were dropped, bringing the final sample to 350.…”

“…However, it has been frequently criticised for its length and as a consequence a number of shorter variants are now available (Strahan and Gerbasi, 1972;Reynolds, 1982;Fischer and Fick, 1993). The scale has also been criticised because of the requirement for respondents to choose either a 'True' or 'False' response for each scale item.…”
