研究者经常在人格测量中加入社会期望性测量，通常是期望反应平衡量表（BIDR），并将其与人格项目相关联，以探索项目的社会期望性。BIDR分数和人格项目之间的强相关性表明高项目社会期望。目前的研究评估了这种做法的有效性。结果表明，只有当BIDR分数作为一个连续变量而不是作为二分法项目分数计算时，这些相关性才具有较高的效度。此外，自欺分数有更高的有效性检测项目社会可取性比印象管理分数。目前的研究支持使用的自我欺骗分数，特别是，检测非常可取或不可取的项目。
Researchers often include a social desirability measure in personality measures, commonly the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR), and correlate it with personality items to probe for social desirability of the items. A strong correlation between BIDR scores and a personality item would indicate high item social desirability. The current research assesses the validity of this practice. Results showed that these correlations have high validity only when BIDR scores are calculated as a continuous variable rather than as dichotomized item scores. In addition, self-deception scores have higher validity for detecting item social desirability than do impression management scores. The current research supported the use of the self-deception scores, in particular, to detect highly desirable or undesirable items.
