TLDR
This paper found that at least two such basic personality traits operate in the area of acquiescence; two more appear in the areas of desirable responding, and two or three may underlie extremity of response.Abstract:
Factor analytic and correlational studies of response styles have been reviewed for evidence relating stylistic responding to objective or performance measures of personality traits. The evidence strongly suggests that correlations among measures of any one style, such as acquiescence, are determined by more than one basic personality disposition. At least two such basic traits operate in the area of acquiescence; two more appear in the area of desirable responding, and two or three may underlie extremity of response. The evidence also tends to suggest that scores on many current response style variables are nonlinear functions of the basic trait variables. Theories about the psychological nature of these underlying traits are discussed, developed, and compared with findings in the current literature.read more

Estimating within-group interrater reliability with and without response bias.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods for assessing agreement among the judgments made by a single group of judges on a single variable in regard to a single target, such as a manuscript, a lower-level manager, or a team.

The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding Short Form (BIDR-16):
TL;DR: This paper introduced the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR-16) to assess social desirability when time is limited, which incorporates Self-Deceptive Enhancement (honest but overly positive responding) and Impression Management (bias toward pleasing others).

Three common social desirability scales: Friends, acquaintances, or strangers?
TL;DR: In this article, the underlying factor structure of three commonly used social desirability scales was investigated using the item responses of 402 university undergraduates, and two higher order social-desirability dimensions emerged: a Sence of Own General Capability defined by items from the Jackson scale and the Edwards scale, and Interpersonal Sensitivity based on items from both the Crowne and Marlowe scale.

Convergent and discriminant validation by the multitrait-multimethod matrix.
TL;DR: This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.

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.

The approximation of one matrix by another of lower rank
Carl Eckart,Gale Young +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of approximating one matrix by another of lower rank is formulated as a least-squares problem, and the normal equations cannot be immediately written down, since the elements of the approximate matrix are not independent of one another.
