Measurement of Response Sets
Jack Hand · Psychological Reports · 1964
This report presents defensible procedures for measuring Acquiescence and Social Desirability along with scales to measure these variables. Such scales are only slightly related; each is related to both test and non-test behavior. Such scales should be useful: (1) as marker variables in personality research, (2) as “response set” controls when studying the predictive validity of content variance of inventories, and (3) as measures of reliable characteristics of individuals.
