Until the 1990s, the most commonly used measure of socially desirable responding was the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale. [16] The original version comprised 33 True-False items. A shortened version, the Strahan–Gerbasi only comprises ten items, but some have raised questions regarding the reliability of this measure. [17]
Social desirability bias is a type of response bias that influences a participant to deny undesirable traits, and ascribe to themselves traits that are socially desirable. [2] In essence, it is a bias that drives an individual to answer in a way that makes them look more favorable to the experimenter. [1] [2] This bias can take many forms.
The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) is a psychometric tool that serves as a 40-item self-report questionnaire. BIDR assesses the potential social desirability bias in respondents' answers and further shows the composition of impression management (IM) and self-deception enhancement (SDE) within that bias.
The social desirability scale itself lives on in part because investigators misconstrue a socially desirable response style and what it expresses. — Douglas P.

This shift comes amid a political and social media backlash to DEI, but has also come in response to recent court rulings that have found certain diversity-related practices to be illegal.
In responding to the scale, participants indicate the extent to which they believe that they are aware of the researchers' hypotheses during the research. Researchers then compute a mean PARH score and correlate this with their key effects. Significant correlations indicate that demand characteristics may be related to the research results.
