“…Furthermore, our results are concordant with when they stated that: BGiven that internalized and implicit weight biases were related to body image disturbance and binge eating, it is plausible that greater implicit or internalized disdain for obesity might fuel both eating and body image disturbance^ (Carels et al 2010, page 184) We must consider our results in light of some issues inherent in the design of the study. First, we only administered selfreported measures, which are susceptible to social desirability bias (Maccoby and Maccoby 1954;Arnold and Feldman 1981). Second, our results may not be generalizable for other groups of patients (e.g., bariatric surgery patients).…”

Weight Bias Internalization Scale Discriminates Obese and Overweight Patients with Different Severity Levels of Depression: the Italian Version of the WBIS

et al. 2016

We have investigated the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the weight bias internalization scale (WBIS) in overweight and obese patients who were attending weight loss programs. Participants were 386 overweight and obese patients admitted in two medical centers specializing in the treatment of obesity. All the patients were administered the WBIS, and measures of binge eating, depression, self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction. Confirmatory factor analysis failed to confirm the fit of the original 11-item unidimensional model. Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis indicated that 9 items included in the original measure (the items 1 and 9 were excluded because low item-total correlations) formed a reliable unidimensional measure of internalized weight bias (WBIS-9). The WBIS-9 was significantly correlated with convergent measures and was able to categorize individuals with different severity levels of depression (sensitivity of 0.72 and specificity of 0.70). The WBIS-9 may be useful in clinical practice to discriminate patients with more severe psychopathology, comorbid disordered eating patterns, and risk for poor outcomes.

“…This is advantageous for this study due to the social desirability that may influence reported job preferences and due to the fact that decision-makers may be unaware of the manner in which source credibility influences their choices. One of the strengths of the policy capturing approach is that it reduces the probability of social desirability bias (Rynes & Barber, 1990;Arnold & Feldman, 1981) and only asks decision-makers to provide their actual judgments, not requiring that they have an awareness of how they combined the factors. This method is covered in a review by Karren and Barringer (2002).…”

Whom to Believe: Recruiting Information Source Credibility and Organizational Attractiveness

This study uses a policy-capturing methodology to investigate how job seekers faced with conflicting recruiting information make organizational attractiveness judgments. It proposes that when considering recruiting information, the credibility of the information source, in terms of trustworthiness, expertise, integrity, and liking, will be positively related to the extent to which information from each source is used when judging the attractiveness of organizations. The results indicated that some sources are seen as more credible than others, and that this credibility is related to the use of information from that source. In addition, the dimensions of credibility most highly related to information use are different for interpersonal and institutional sources. The implications for employee recruiting research and practice are discussed.

“…When assessing individual creativity, subjective assessment methods may be inherently exposed to at least two critical biases, social desirability and consistency motif (also referred to as cognitive consistency) (Podsakoff & Organ, 1986). Social desirability bias refers to the measurement error attributed to the individual tendencies in over-reporting socially desirable personal characteristics and under-reporting socially undesirable characteristics (Arnold & Feldman, 1981;Taylor, 1961;Thomas & Kilmann, 1975). This bias often prompts responses that represent the person in a more socially favorable light.…”
