The internal consistency reliability of a five-item measure of socially desirable response set, the SDRS-5, was examined in two samples: 614 outpatients of medical providers and 3053 outpat patients of medical and mental health providers.
Abstract
The internal consistency reliability of a five-item measure of socially desirable response set, the SDRS-5, was examined in two samples: 614 outpatients of medical providers and 3053 outpatients of medical and mental health providers. Alpha reliability estimates were 0.66 and 0.68, respectively. One-month test-retest reliability was 0.75 in a sample of 75 older adults. With appropriate caveats, we recommend the SDRS-5 for clinical investigators needing a very brief measure of socially desirable response set.

Experiences of discrimination: Validity and reliability of a self-report measure for population health research on racism and health

TL;DR: The results underscore the need for using validated, multi-item measures of experiences of racial discrimination and suggest the EOD may be one such measure that can be validly employed with working class African Americans and Latino Americans.

Individual differences in rational thought.

TL;DR: This paper explored the extent to which measures of cognitive ability and thinking dispositions can predict discrepancies from normative responding on a variety of tasks from the heuristics and biases literature including the selection task, belief bias in syllogistic reasoning, argument evaluation, base-rate use, covariation detection, hypothesis testing, outcome bias, if-only thinking, knowledge calibration, hindsight bias, and the false consensus paradigm.

Antecedents of adherence to medical recommendations: results from the Medical Outcomes Study.

TL;DR: Patients who were distressed about their health, used avoidant coping strategies, or who reported worse physical and role functioning were less likely to adhere in general, but patient satisfaction with two features of care was positively related to adherence in some models, but satisfaction with the technical quality of carewas negatively associated with adherence to specific recommendations among heart disease patients.

Understanding Employee Responses to Stressful Information Security Requirements: A Coping Perspective

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.

A new scale of social desirability independent of psychopathology.

TL;DR: It seems clear that the items in the Edwards Social Desirability Scale would, of necessity, have extreme social desirability scale positions or, in other words, be statistically deviant.

Social Desirability Response Effects: Three Alternative Models

TL;DR: In this paper, three models for the effects of social desirability on organizational behavior research results were developed for the effect of social desire on organizational behaviour research results and showed that social desire can act as an unmeasured variable that produces spurious correlations.
