Will the Real Social Desirability Please Stand Up? Hopelessness, Depression, Social Desirability, and the Prediction of Suicidal Behavior.

Strosahl, Kirk D.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n3 p449-57 Jun 1984

Analyzed the clinical utility of including social desirability (SD) assessment in the risk assessment and prediction of suicidal behavior in both a general population (N=197) and psychiatric sample (N=96). Results indicated that SD assessment is useful, particularly among psychiatric patients and when historical reports of suicidal behavior are involved. (LLL)
