Johnson, John A.; Hogan, Robert

Journal of Research in Personality, v15 n1 p57-66 Mar 1981

Discusses Meehan, Woll, and Abbott's study showing that scores on Hogan's Survey of Ethical Attitudes (SEA) are affected by instructions to simulate politically liberal or conservative attitudes. This paper asserts that test-taking is a form of self-presentation, identical to everyday social interactions. Woll responds, reasserting his conclusions. (Author/RC)
