Abstract
Eysenck Personality Inventory Scales and Social Desirability: A Correlational and Factorial Study
M.N. Palsane & P.H. Lodhi
Eysenck Personality Inventory Form A and Edwards' Social Desirability Scale were administered to a sample of 167 college students and the data were analysed correlationally and factorially. The results supported the hypotheses of negative correlation of Edwards' Social Desirability Scale (ESD) with Neuroticism (r = - .629, p < .0l) and a positive correlation with extraversion (r= .196, p < .05). The hypothesis that High-Extravert-Low-Neurotic group would have a higher mean score on ESD than the Low-Extravert-High-Nuerotic group was supported at .01 level. The results are explained in the light of Eysenck's personality theory.
