“…Second, social desirability has been found to be related to a range of demographic variables. Among others, older women [9,10], women of lower socio-economic status [10,11], and older respondents [12,13] have been found to be most prone to socially desirable responding. While we did not have socio-economic data, the remaining characteristics largely fit our sample, i.e.…”

“…avoidance of disapproval by denying socially undesirable traits and/or behaviors [5-8]. Social desirability has been found to be related to demographic variables; it is more likely to be identified in older women [9,10], women of lower socio-economic status [10,11], and higher age [12,13]. Finally, social desirability has been found to be strongly related to the positive rating of the personal qualities of self, family and friends and not of ‘people in general’, the so-called ‘better than average’ effect [14].…”

BackgroundBias due to social desirability has long been of concern to evaluators relying on self-report data. It is conceivable that health program evaluation is particularly susceptible to social desirability bias as individuals may be inclined to present themselves or certain health behaviors in a more positive light and/or appease the course leader. Thus, the influence of social desirability bias on self-report outcomes was explored in the present study.MethodsData were collected from 331 participants of group-based chronic disease self-management interventions using the highly robust eight-scale Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ) and the 13-item short form Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-C). The majority of self-management courses were run by community-based organizations across Australia between February 2005 and December 2006 where 6 to 12 individuals have the opportunity to develop considerable rapport with course leaders and each other over about six weeks. Pre-test data were collected on the first day of courses, while post-test and social desirability scores were assessed at the end of courses. A model of partial mediation within the framework of structural equation modeling was developed with social desirability as the mediating variable between pre-test and post-test.ResultsThe ‘Defensiveness’ factor of the MC-C showed clear association with heiQ pre-test data, a prerequisite for investigating mediation; however, when investigating the eight full pre-test/post-test models ‘Defensiveness’ was only associated with one heiQ scale. This effect was small, explaining 8% of the variance in the model. No other meditational effects through social desirability were observed.ConclusionsThe overall lack of association of social desirability with heiQ outcomes was surprising as it had been expected that it would explain at least some of the variance observed between pre-test and post-test. With the assumption that the MC-C captures the propensity for an individual to provide socially desirable answers, this study concludes that change scores in chronic disease self-management program evaluation are not biased by social desirability.

Strategies for validating complaints about pain and pain-related disability are considered important in the assessment of persons with chronic pain. Validation strategies should be based on principles of psychological assessment. In order to limit the amount of validating activities in clinical practice core outcome domains for subjects with chronic pain are identified (pain and bodily complaints, coping and treatment, level of physical, psychosocial, and cognitive functioning, working ability). Based on results from research on malingering the recommended validation strategies are multiple intra-individual comparisons of different levels and sources of data, use of reliable and valid tests and questionnaires, consideration of incidental inconsistencies, use of validating scales for response sets of acquiescence, social desirability, or defensiveness and symptom validity testing based on the principle of low item difficulties. The principles of validation are demonstrated exemplarily with respect to the selected outcome domains.
