Краткое описание:
Much research has been devoted to the study of
socially desirable responding (SDR) on non-cognitive
measures of job related characteristics. However, the
egoistic component (ego-promotional and
ego-defensive) of SDR has not been given enough
attention in the literature. In this dissertation I
describe deceptive behavior from an evolutionary and
cultural perspective. The research on faking and
socially desirable responding is thoroughly explored
and the notions of ego promotional and ego defensive
responding are introduced. These discussions lead to
two research studies examining 1) how egoistic
behavior affects self appraised job performance and
responses to biographical questionnaire and 2)
whether SDR scales can measure actual deception in a
pre-employment testing context.
