Positive Self-Presentation Effects and the Detection of Defensiveness on the NEO PI-R.

Ross, Scott R.; Bailley, Steven E.; Millis, Scott R.

Assessment, v4 n4 p395-408 Dec 1997

Three studies, involving 100, 202, and 254 college students, respectively, examined the effects of positive self-presentational set on the revised edition of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). Findings suggest that the NEO PI-R is clearly vulnerable to faking and support the condition that profiles derived under socially desirable conditions can be accurately identified. (SLD)
