Psychometric properties of measurements obtained with the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale in an Icelandic probability based Internet sample

作者:

Highlights:

• Previously, measurements obtained with the MCSDS in Internet mode have not been validated.

• The present study relies on a population representative sample, previous studies have relied on non-probability samples.

• Reliability estimates were in line with results from previous studies of MCSDS data.

• The CFA findings generally support the unidimensionality assumption of the MCSDS.

• Results indicate a need to focus on the content and quality of individual items.
