    Allen L Edwards, Lynne K EdwardsARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1992

    Using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) item pool, Wiggins (1966) developed 13 scales, each with a homogeneous content. The 13 scales, along with marker scales for the 1st 3 MMPI factors, Edward's social desirability (SD), Welsh's repression (R), and Wiggins's social desirability (Sd) respectively were scored in the MMPI. The same scales were scored in an Experimental Multiphasic Personality Inventory (EMPI). A principal-comp…

    Johnson, Butcher, Null, and Johnson (1984) reported on factor scales developed from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).

Also, the 1st-factor loadings of the scales were linearly related to the SD intensity intensity index of the scales.…

    The Experimental Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (EMMPI) consists of 566 nonpathological personality items, where each item is paired with a corresponding item in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) such that both items have approximately the same social desirability scale values and the proportion of True responses. The results of the secondary analysis applied separately to the 21 MMPI trait scales and to the corr…

  • Social Desirability Values and Dispersions for the Items in Two SD Scales

    Open AccessLynne K Edwards, Cheryl L ClarkARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    The social desirability values for the items in the MMPI SD scale and in an experimental SD scale are reported. The study is based on a sample of 74 undergraduate students at the University of Washington, Seattle. The mean desirability values of the MMPI SD scale items are compared to the values reported by Messick and Jackson (1961), which were based on a sample of 171 students at Pennsylvania State University. The desirability values were highl…
