Abstract
"The test-taking attitude often referred to as social desirability, and the 15 variables of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule were compared using two measures of social desirability. The findings support those of Edwards in that social desirability plays only a slight role in influencing some of the PPS scores. Two variables do show a consistent relationship with social desirability and this was interpreted as possible indication of the construct validity of these variables. Correlations were reported between the two anxiety scales and the PPS variables. Some implications of these correlations were discussed."
