An English-Language Adaptation of the Social Desirability-Gamma Short Scale (KSE-G)

Abstract: The Social Desirability-Gamma Short Scale - the English-language adaptation of the Kurzskala Soziale Erwünschtheit-Gamma (KSE-G) - measures two aspects of the Gamma factor of socially desirable responding (SDR): exaggerating positive qualities (PQ+) and minimizing negative qualities (NQ-). The items of the German-language source version were translated into English using the TRAPD approach. Our empirical validation shows that the reliability and validity coefficients of the English adaptation are comparable to those of the German source instrument. Moreover, the results of measurement invariance testing suggest metric measurement invariance of the scale for the United Kingdom and Germany, thus implying comparability of correlations based on the latent factors across the two countries
