Impression Management in the Ethical Self-Presentation of Offenders Undergoing Presentence Evaluation

Holland, Terrill R.; Boik, Robert J.

Criminal Justice and Behavior, 5, 3, 259-70, Sep 78

Pronounced impression management effects were obtained for prosocial and antisocial responses, and high scores on a dimension of change defined by these variables were related to sociopathic features on the MMPI.
