Social desirability is now receiving attention as a source of error of measurement and as a personality characteristic and behavioral predisposition. In this study the differences of Puerto Rican students' scores on social desirability, whether they attended private ( n = 47) or public schools ( n = 76), were explored. Youth scoring high on social desirability are seen as more conforming while those scoring low feel freer to express themselves
