JIMENEZ-GOMEZ, Fernando; SANCHEZ-CRESPO, Guadalupe  e  AMPUDIA-RUEDA, Amada. Is there a social desirability scale in the MMPI-2-RF?. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.3, pp.161-168. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/cl2013a17.

The purpose of this study is to search for a validity scale for detecting social desirability bias in the MMPI-2-RF. To that end, data from scales considered as underreporting on the MMMPI-2-RF, such as the Edwards and Wiggins Social Desirability (Esd and Wsd respectively) scales, the Other Deception (ODecp) scale of Nichols & Greene, the Superlative (S) scale of Butcher and Han, and Uncommon Virtues (L-r) and Adjustment Validity (K-r) scales, was analyzed comparatively. The sample was taken from the Spanish adaptation of the MMPI-2 database, with the corresponding item selection made from the restructured MMPI-2-RF. Two groups of participants were established: The honest group and the dissimulator group, participants of the latter being instructed to give socially desirable responses. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) methodology was used to suggest a scale that offers more diagnostic accuracy.

Palavras-chave : Social desirability; MMPI-2-RF; Edwards' Social Desirability Scale; Wiggins' Social Desirability Scale; Other Deception Scale of Nichols & Greene; Superlative Scale of Butcher and Han (S); Dissimulation.
