Social Desirability Scale Values of Locus of Control Items

Kestenbaum, Joel M.

Journal of Personality Assessment, 40, 3, 306-9, Jun 76

Subjects rated each item in Rotter's I-E Scale for its social desirability value. Social desirability scale values (SDSV) of paired items were compared with one another. Results indicate that paired items are not similar in their SDSV, thus enabling subjects to respond on the basis of social desirability. (Author/DEP)
