Socially desirable responding
Scores on the BIDR subscales in the test sample (Self-Deceptive Enhancement: mean 5.9, s.d. = 3.4; Impression Management: mean 6.3, s.d. = 4.0) showed that the extent of socially desirable responding was small and within the range of normative values reported in the BIDR manual (Self-Deceptive Enhancement: mean 7.5, s.d. = 3.2; Impression Management: mean 4.3, s.d. = 3.1).
