摘要:In past research results of faking behavior on personality questionnaires are quite inconsistent. The reason of the discrepancies regarding the prevalence and consequences of faking may be the result of lack of clear operationalization of faking behavior. So the present research tested do two faking measures i.e. operalization (difference scores and social desirability scales) tend to yield similar conclusion regarding the Paulhus model of socially desirable responding. Study was conducted on dependent sample of participants in three different motivational conditions: respondents first filled out questionnaires in honest conditions, then had to present themselves like an ideal manager job-applicants (induced egoistic bias) and teacher job applicants (induced moralistic bias). The results showed that two measures of faking yield similar results.
