Building mental toughness
We evaluated a curriculum that focused on bolstering grit and locus of control in seventh grade students at a school in upstate New York. The intervention included lessons aimed at building a growth mindset and determination, along with writing projects and collaborative work. A pre−post design was utilized such that surveys measuring grit and locus of control were administered at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year…
The Bender-Gestalt II
In 2003, the Bender-Gestalt II was published. In the present article, the revision process is described, and major changes to the test are discussed. These changes include additional designs, a memory (recall) phase, Motor and Perception supplementary tests, a detailed observation form, a global scoring system, and a large, nationally representative normative base. Directions for future research are also provided
Social desirability in the bedroom
Living the sexual script
One hundred and twenty‐four unmarried college students participated in a study which assessed the relationship between gender and locus of control orientation and students' stereotypes about sexual influence and their personal experiences in sexual encounters. Three hypotheses were tested. First, it was expected that students would stereotype initiating sexual intercourse as a masculine activity and refusing to have sex as a feminine activity. Se…

This paper reviewed research on the social desirability response tendency. The implications drawn from the studies reviewed were (1) the desire to appear socially acceptable is not merely a test-taking phenomenon but reflects a more pervasive determinant of individual behavior, and (2) there are three dimensions of approval motivation, sensitivity, conformity, and defensiveness
Social Judgment in Conceptually Impulsive and Reflective Children
Judgment displayed by individuals in situations involving common-sense reasoning ability might be evaluated by examining the Information and Comprehension subtests of the Wechsler intelligence scales (3). An Information score significaotly higher (two or more scaled scores) than the Comprehension score has been thought to be indicative of impaired judgment. Since impulsive responding may result in poor judgment in many social and academic situati…
Children's Social Desirability Response Tendencies and Wechsler Comprehension and Picture Arrangement Performance
The Children's Social Desirability Scale (3) consists of items representing behaviors and attitudes which are either culturally sanctioned and approved but occur infrequently, or are culturally disapproved but occur frequently. Approval-motivation has been inferred from the degree to which an individual endorses questionnaire items describing himself on a conrinuum of desirability as opposed to their manifest concent. While high approval-motivati…
