Perceived parental behavior and the social desirability response set

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential effects of the social desirability response set as a confounding variable in research involving self-report measures of perceived parental behavior. Scores on the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (M-C SDS) were correlated with each of the three factors on the Bronfenbrenner Parental Behavior Scale (BPB): (1) Loving, (2) Punishing, and (3) Demanding. Fifty-eight young adults participated in the study; the sample included roughly equal num… Show more

“…The Social Desirability Scale (SDS; Crowne & Marlowe, 1960) assesses a respondent's tendency to reply to questions in a socially desirable fashion. Because research has suggested that parental self-reports may be susceptible to social desirability effects (e.g., Borkenau & Ostendorf, 1987;Gooden & Struble, 1990;Gosling et al, 1998) and may vary crossculturally (see Chandler, Shama, Wolf, & Planchard, 1981;Markus & Kitayama, 1990;Smith, 2002), we administered the SDS. Crowne and Marlowe (1960) reported that test-retest reliability for the SDS is .89.…”

“…Because research has suggested that parental selfreports may be susceptible to social desirability effects (e.g., Gooden & Struble, 1990), mothers also completed a 33-item questionnaire that assessed their tendency to make socially desirable responses. We used the Marlowe -Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960).…”

“…Moreover, we distributed the MIBQ 24 to 48 hours after delivery, with mothers reporting more positive feelings about their newborn between the second and fourth day postpartum than immediately after birth [22]. Self-questionnaires are also subject to social desirability [23]: mothers are aware that some responses are "better perceived" than others. Their emotional security contributes to their ability to confide or not to negative emotions and also to perceive them [24], which could explain the percentage 51% in our sample (Figure 1).…”
