Abstract

The relationship between two measures of individual social desirability ratings and the test scores of college students was determined for Hand's Acquiescence Scale and the I-E Scale. A measure of the imbalance of intensity of social desirability on the two subscales of each test was significantly related to the scores on Hand's Acquiescence Scale ( r = .38, p < .001) and to the scores on the I-E Scale ( r = .82, p < .001). A measure of the imbalance of the individual social desirability ratings on pairs of items was significantly related to Hand's Acquiescence Scale scores ( r = 32, p < .001) and to the scores on the I-E Scale ( r = .79, P < .001).
