Abstract
RESPONSE SETS IN STANDARD AND EXPERIMENTAL PERSONALITY SCALES* ALLE N L. EDWARDS and JAMES A. WALSH University of Washington In a factor analysis of 58 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inven tory (MMPI) scales and 3 other personality scales (Edwards, Diers, an d Walker, 1962), it was found that the first factor could be inter preted as the tendency to give socially desirable responses and the second as the tendency to give acquiescent responses. The third factor was tentatively identified as the tendency to falsify answers to per sonality items. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the same three factors could be identified in a new battery consisting primarily of non-MMPI scales. METHO D Fro m Edwards' (1963) pool of 2,824 personality items, 240 items were selected to form six experimental social desirability scales, Scales 1-6, each consisting of 40 items. All of the items in these scales are keyed for socially desirable responses. A socially desirable response is defined as a True response to an item with a socially desirable scale value or as a False response to an item with a socially undesir able scale value. In Scales 1-4 there is a balance in the True-False keying,
