“…Besides the recoding of perceived CWB occurrence, a social desirability scale was also administered together with the survey. The current study employed the Fischer and Fick (1993) short version of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (SDS), which is highly tested for its reliability in predicting socially conscious participants (Andrews & Meyer, 2003;Barger, 2002;Leite & Beretvas, 2005;Loo & Thorpe, 2000;Thompson & Phua, 2005). To check for social desirability issues, correlations were computed between the CWB-T factors and SDS.…”

Recent studies in counterproductive work behavior (CWB) have noted the seriousness of having deviant behaviors within the workplace environment. Acknowledging that CWBs exists in all types of organization; this would mean that even within academic institutions, occurrence of CWBs is inevitable. Within an initial study of CWBs in Taiwan academic institutions, results suggest a moderate occurrence of some serious negative behaviors. To clarify their findings, further validation of the CWB-T is needed. In the spring semester of 2015, an online survey was established and data was collected from strategically selected schools all over Taiwan. After three weeks of data collection, a total of 718 valid responds are noted and analyzed. Using the CWB-T framework, eight (8) factors are validated using Structured Equation Modelling (SEM). In addition, various demographical backgrounds are also collected and analyzed. Results suggest that teachers with administrative responsibilities, teachers with longer years of service, teachers working in urban cities, and teachers who are working in the key capital region all seem to perceived higher occurrence of CWBs within the academic workplace. In essence, it is currently noted that even within school, CWBs are occurring from low to moderate. Therefore, it is imperative that awareness of such deviant behaviors be achieved and further escalation be prevented.

“…Nevertheless, rather than reflect these true thoughts or feelings (Grimm, 2010), attitudes, preferences or beliefs (Heerwig & McCabe, 2009), the need for approval (Leite & Beretvas, 2005) results in socially desirable responses (Pauls & Stemmler, 2003). The difference between the expression of socially responsible attitudes and actions is often referred to as the attitude-behaviour gap .…”

Ethics and influences in tourist perceptions of climate change

Ethical decisions to visit disappearing destinations are self-serving and influences feed into self-interest. Data was collected from a sample of pre, during and post visit tourists to Venice and Svalbard, using expressive techniques and scenarios using the HuntVitell Model to understand ethical decisions, and the constructive technique and collage to understand influences. The results show that travel decisions are driven by individual selfishness, and any threat to freedom (i.e. the right to travel) is underplayed. The preferred scenario for long term benefit for planet and people is via short-term economic and social negative impacts on the destination's locals, rather than the tourists' own experience. Respondents believe that they are blameless for their purchasing habits as they lack perceived behavioural control, and instead corporations ought to be providing sustainable products as the norm and not sell products that harm.In the scenarios where respondents express concern for the locals in a disappearing destination (i.e. if we don't visit, they will not benefit from our expenditure) could be driven by individual selfishness to visit, rather than an altruistic act to provide support.Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

“…Individuals whose responses to this scale are more socially desirable are thought to be more "conforming, cautious, and persuadable, and their behavior is more normatively anchored than persons who depict themselves less euphemistically" (Crowne & Marlowe, 1964, p. 189). The authors reported obtaining a Kuder-Richardson reliability coefficient of .88 and a testretest correlation of .89 (Leite & Beretvas, 2005).…”

Attitudes toward Muslim Americans have been largely understudied in the psychological field. It is important to identify negative attitudes that may be present in particular situations for Muslim Americans in order to better understand and adapt to situations in which negative attitudes are expressed. For this study, 208 subjects (170 females and 38 males) from a California State University campus were recruited; the study explored situational attitudes toward Muslim Americans within the context of social desireability and universal orientation. Contrary to expectations, negative attitudes appeared to be specific rather than global. Implications of the study findings for Muslim American mental health and prevention/ intervention programs are discussed.
