Social Desirability Response Bias in Self-Report Choice Situations

Author: Arnold, H.J.; Feldman, D.C.

Description: The susceptibility to social desirability response bias of four alternative methods of measuring the importance of job and organizational characteristics is examined. Data were collected from 86 graduate management students. Results support the hypothesis that the explicitly stated subjective weight methodologies are more likely to evoke a social desirability response bias than is the inferred objective weight method.
