Abstract
Social desirability ratings of 150 American and 108 German college students responding to the 39 items of the Edwards social desirability scale were analyzed both intra- and interculturally. Using cross-products instead of convential product moment corrections as measures of item relationships, both the intra- and intercultural factor structures consisted of a large item-specific SD factor and an additional subject-specific SD response style factor.Keywords
