“…Sample items include "Before voting I thoroughly investigate the qualifications of all the candidates" and "I'm always willing to admit when I make a mistake." The Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale is a well established true-false scale with a test-retest reliability ranging from .84 to .89 (Crino, Svoboda, Rubenfeld, & White, 1983;Fisher, 1967) and an internal consistency of .88 (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). The coefficient alpha for this study was .85.…”

This study surveyed addictions counselors to determine factors that predict affirmative attitudes and behaviors with all clients and with gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients (GLB) in particular. Three factors were predictive with regard to all clients, and 5 factors were predictive with regard to GLB clients. Nonheterosexist organizational climate was the only factor predictive in both situations. The implications of these results are discussed with regard to practice, research, and training.

This study compares the psychometric characteristics of four questionnaires designed to assess self-control skills: the Self-Control Questionnaire, the Frequency of Self-Reinforcement Questionnaire, the Cognitive Self-Management Test, and the Lifestyle Approaches Inventory. Content validity was judged to be fairly comparable by three raters in Study 1. In Study 2, convergent and divergent validity support was obtained for all four questionnaires when administered to 369 multiethnic college students, but the relative degree of support varied across constructs. Hence, selection of a self-control instrument may be guided by the target behavior of interest.
