Using the BIDR to Distinguish the Effects of Impression Management and Self-Deception on the Criterion Validity of Personality Measures: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Although the use of personality tests for personnel selection has gained increasing acceptance, researchers have raised concerns that job applicants may distort their responses to inflate their scores. In the present meta-analysis, we examined the effects of the two dimensions of social desirability, impression management and self-deception, on the criterion validity of personality constructs using the balanced inventory of desirable responding (BIDR). The results indicate that impression management and self-d… Show more

“…The correlation pattern is similar to the meta-analysis of Li and Bagger (2006), where impression management was correlated with all factors except Extraversion and Openness. We tested the differences in correlation size across the groups using Fisher's r-z transformation.…”

“…This issue has been tested in a large number of studies and subsequently summarized in meta-analyses. These show unanimously that IM scales fail to moderate criterion-related validities of personality scales (Li & Bagger, 2006;Ones & Viswesvaran, 1998;Ones et al, 1996). Ones et al's (1996) finding that partialing out IM has no effect on the criterionrelated validities of the Big Five traits led them to conclude that the use of IM scales in personnel selection is a red herring.…”

“…These metaanalyses show that IM is either not correlated with job performance or that it is mildly positively correlated. For example, Moorman and Podsakoff (1992) found a near-zero average correlation (r ¼ .01) in their meta-analysis (k ¼ 7, N ¼ 2392); Ones et al (1996) had a larger sample of studies (k ¼ 14, N ¼ 9966) and their conclusion was identical (r ¼ .01); more recently, Li and Bagger (2006) found a positive correlation (r ¼ .10; 95% CI ¼ .05-.15) between job performance and social desirability across eight studies (N ¼ 1244) once it was specifically defined in terms of the BIDR IM subscale. Taken together, the results are more consistent with the arguments of the adjustment approach than with those of the defensiveness approach.…”

“…On the other hand, according to some other researchers, deception is not always intentional (e.g., self-deception) (Gardner & Martinko, 1988), (Jones et al, 1962), (A. Li & Bagger, 2006). Regardless of the deception type, successful forensics investigation requires detection of deception.…”
