“…Students who are more socially desirable are thought to respond in a way that portrays themselves as favourable, and thus providing a self-perceived measure of their desired performance level rather than actual level [18, 19]. When using self-reported measures to assess cultural responsiveness, social desirability should be assessed to determine the validity of responses [18, 21, 61]. Educators should also consider the implications of social desirability responding on learning.…”

Background Ensuring physiotherapy students are well prepared to work safely and effectively in culturally diverse societies upon graduation is vital. Therefore, determining whether physiotherapy programs are effectively developing the cultural responsiveness of students is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness of entry level physiotherapy students during their training, and explore the factors that might be associated with these levels. Methods A cross sectional study of physiotherapy students from nine universities across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire containing three parts: The Cultural Competence Assessment tool, Altemeyer’s Dogmatism scale, and the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability scale- short form. Demographic data relating to university, program, and level of study were also collected. Data was analysed using one-way ANOVA, t-tests and multiple regression analysis. Results A total of 817 (19% response rate) students participated in this study. Overall, students had a moderate level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness (Mean (SD) = 5.15 (0.67)). Fewer number of weeks of clinical placement attended, lower levels of dogmatism, and greater social desirability were related to greater self-perceived cultural responsiveness. Additionally, fourth year undergraduate students perceived themselves to be less culturally responsive than first and second year students ( p < 0.05). Conclusions These results provide educators with knowledge about the level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness in physiotherapy students, and the factors that may need to be assessed and addressed to support the development of culturally responsive practice.

“…The behaviour is significant in range of questionnaire responses across cultures and influences response bias (Fleming, 2012). As technique; Social Desirability Detection Scale Technique; works best during data collection phase (Lambert et al, 2016). Social Desirability Detection Scale can be used to detect social desirability by employing statistical analyses where data adjustment may be possible prior main analyses.…”

The study was designed to investigate Constructs Independence; Normality; Reliability and Validity of Allen and Meyer's Questionnaire (1990) three constructs namely Affective, Normative and Continuous Commitment in Tanzanian data. It was purposively planned and conducted in two separate phases (Study 1 and 2). In study 1; Tanzanian data were tested if Allen and Meyer's Questionnaire (1990) yielded independent constructs. In study 2; tests for validity, reliability and normality levels were primary to the study. All tests came following solid theoretical background pertaining to how Hofstede (2001) cultural dimensions determine response styles, response bias and questionnaire response across cultures. A total of total of 104 and 214 respondents from Tanzanian Councils were involved in study 1 and study 2 respectively. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated Meyers and Allen three scales were component of common constructs. Specified PCA models on the three scales showed significant results indicated by p< .05; and KMO greater than 0.6. and no loading variable was worse than 0.90. Similarly; Normality Analysis suggested data collected yielded normality; as combined graph produced Skewness (.265); Kurtosis (-1.427) and skewness value range between-.5 and +.5. Also; Cronbach Alpha Analyses indicated; data collected had Cronbach Alpha better than .70 the reliability minimum requirement scores in all three questionnaire constructs. Further; Confirmatory Factors Analysis revealed that Meyers and Allen Questionnaire yielded significant validity using fit indices RMR (Root Mean Square Residual), GFI (Goodness Fit Index), TLI (Tucker-Lewis Index), CFI (Comparative Fit Index) and RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation). Thus, it was concluded that Meyers and Allen Questionnaire is reliable and valid for organizational commitment studies in Tanzanian context. Recommendations for reducing or eliminating questionnaire response bias to have better statistical analyses and estimations were included.

“…Of the two prevailing social desirability scales (Beretvas, Meyers, & Leite, 2002), the MCSDS is more sensitive to both faking good and faking bad (Lambert, Arbuckle, & Holden, 2016). Commonly used to support the internal validity of another psychological assessment, it consists of 33 true-false questions that return reliable results across varied testing formats (e.g., paper vs. computerized; offline vs. online) and across repeated administrations with varied test-taker characteristics (e.g., gender, age, clinical status; Beretvas et al, 2002;Dodou & De Winter, 2014 Participants were randomly assigned to one of three autobiographical vignettes (described below), with a target of 45 participants per group, post application of exclusionary criteria (described below).…”

Assessing susceptibility of a temporal discounting task to faking

Objective Temporal discounting describes the devaluation of delayed rewards. Because temporal discounting is predictive of substance misuse, its clinical assessment could improve prevention (e.g., identifying at‐risk youth) and treatment (e.g., predicting relapse). However, if discounting rates can be faked (e.g., to avoid treatment), their clinical utility may be limited. For the first time, we measured the influence of deception in a temporal discounting task. Method We recruited 200 participants (44% female, Mage= 33) through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants completed a discounting assessment with instructions to (a) respond honestly, (b) fake good (i.e., simulate better versions of themselves), or (c) fake bad. Results Generalized linear mixed effects analysis showed that in Experiment 1, nonclinical samples faked good (Mhyperbolic discounting rate= 0.002) or bad (M= 0.086) compared to the Honest group (M= 0.008). In Experiment 2, cigarette smokers faked good (M= 0.003) compared to the Honest group (M= 0.025). Conclusions Temporal discounting transects the disciplines of psychology, biology, and behavioral economics. Before its promise as an endophenotype can be realized, assessments must be translated for clinical use. Opaquer temporal discounting tasks, or secondary measures of lying, may be required before temporal discounting can be confidently extended to clinical settings.
