“…Self-report data show that IM is associated with reduced levels (and fewer instances) of emotions from this group (e.g., Brewin, Firth-Cozens, Furnham, & McManus, 1992;Clark et al, 1998;Sabourin et al, 1989;H.L. Smith, Robinson, & Young, 2007).…”

Social desirability (specifically, impression management) scales are widely used by researchers and practitioners to screen individuals who bias self-reports in a self-favoring manner. These scales also serve to identify individuals at risk for psychological and health problems. The present review explores the evidence with regard to the ability of these scales to achieve these objectives. In the first part of the review, I present six criteria to evaluate impression management scales and conclude that they are unsatisfactory as measures of response style. Next, I explore what individual differences in impression management scores actually do measure. I compare two approaches: a defensiveness approach, which argues that these scales measure defensiveness that stems from vulnerable self-esteem, and an adjustment approach, which suggests that impression management is associated with personal well-being and interpersonal adjustment. Data from a wide variety of fields including social behavior, affect and wellbeing, health, and job performance tend to favor the adjustment approach. Finally, I argue that scales measuring impression management should be redefined as measures of interpersonally oriented self-control that identify individuals who demonstrate high levels of self-control, especially in social contexts.

“…Researchers have focused on counselor trainee development through personal counseling by identifying potential stressors counselors face when entering the counseling profession (Gaubatz & Vera, 2006;McCarthy, 2008;McCarthy, Pfohl, & Bruno, 2009;Rizg & Target, 2008;Smith, Robinson, & Young, 2007;Wester, Trepal, & Myers, 2009). When impairment is caused as a result of counseling practice, counselor trainees are often able to mitigate the negative effects of processing traumatic and upsetting client events through peer supervision (Dutton & Rubinstein, 1995), through professional supervision (Fernando & Hulse-Killacky, 2005), and other supports (Gold & Hilsenroth, 2009).…”
