A quantitative review of the effect of computerized testing on the measurement of social desirability.
The writers conducted a meta-analysis to ascertain the degree to which the computer administration of a measure affects socially desirable responding. They defined social desirability as consisting of impression management and self-deceptive enhancement. They argued that a small but statistically...

They defined social desirability as consisting of impression management and self-deceptive enhancement. They argued that a small but statistically significant effect was observed for impression management, with impression management being lower when evaluated by computer. However, they asserted that correlational analysis indicated that the strength of the effect of computer administration on impression management seemed to diminish over time such that more recent studies have detected small or no effects. In addition, they found that reports of self-deceptive enhancement did not vary by testing format. Finally, they considered the implications of the results in terms of how they contribute to the explication of the construct of social desirability and cross-mode equivalence. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
