Hello all! I am studying risk taking in adolescents in the age range of 15-20 years. I am using many questionnaires in my study and, therefore, I am concerned about the social desirability that adolescents might engage in.
Dear Dr. Naseer Bhat.
The most known social desirability scale is the scale developed by Marlowe-Crowne. I am attaching to this comment a PDF with the short version of that scale,
Hope that it is useful for your.
Best regards,
Orlando

Hi
You are very right when being concerned about the possibly biased replies of respondents.
However, beware of social desirability scales. They do not measure faking in questionnaires as such, so if you control for them statistically, you might remove interesting variation. I have attached one paper about this, and if you look at my Rg page you will find several papers about this and self-report problems in general.
regards
