“…The religious group scored differently on both SDR scales when compared with the inmate and students samples, notably on the negative and denial scales, which is in accordance with the literature (Crandall & Gozali, 1969;Ellis & Smith, 1991;Leak & Fish, 1989), suggesting that items can trigger more SDR when they are related to religious values. The inmate population also showed a higher SDR pattern than the other two groups, which is in line with previous studies (Fisher & Parsons, 1962;Slaton et al, 2000;Stuckless et al, 1995). However, there is not a straightforward interpretation; on one hand, it can be assumed that prisoners have the ability to give a favorable image of themselves to impress the audience.…”

“…Prisoners can provide self-favorable descriptions when they are instructed to fake good in psychological tests (LoBello & Sims, 1993;Sackett & Lievens, 2008). They tend to score higher on SDR than normative groups (Fisher & Parsons, 1962;Slaton, Kern, & Curlette, 2000;Stuckless, Ford, & Vitelli, 1995). Sackett and Harris (1984) found that inmates scored more in the negative ranges of various integrity tests when compared with job applicants.…”

“…This scale was included to neutralize any possible effect of the social desirability variable on the subject's responses. The fact that a large proportion of the subjects in this study were interviewed in total institutions made the existence of this effect very probable (Fisher & Parsons, 1962).…”

This study investigated the temporal orientation of delinquents and nondclinquents while adequately controlling institutionalization. For this purpose, four groups were selected: institutionalized delinquents (prison inmates) ; institutionalized nondelinqucnts (soldiers); noninstitutionalized delinquents (delinquents on probation); and noninstitutionalized nondelinquents (vocational students). The findings support most of the hypotheses: Although all subjects were basically future oriented, the institutionalized subjects (mainly prisoners) were more present oriented than their noninstitutionalized counterparts. As the prisoner approached release, there was a decrease in the salience of the present and an increase in the salience of the future in his life space. Delinquents (both in and out of prison) perceived the past as more negative and the future as more positive than did nondelinquents. Institutionalized subjects (especially prisoners) perceived the present as more negative than their noninstitutionalized counterparts. The affective attitudes of the nondelinquents toward the past, present, and future were much more balanced and realistic than that of the delinquents.In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the dimension of time in the behavioral-science literature, relating it to factors such as personality (

“…According to the data, the need for social approval is inversely proportional to the educational situation, and as the educational situation increases, the need for social approval decreases (Johnson, & Fendrich, 2002;Klassen, Homstra, & Anderson, 1975, p. 450). In addition, it is found that there is a negative relationship between educational achievement and intelligence and the need for social approval (Evans, & Forbach, 1982;Fisher, 1967, p. 474);Fisher, & Parsons, 1962).…”
