The Random Response Technique as an Indicator of Questionnaire Item Social Desirability/Personal Sensitivity.

Crino, Michael D.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n3 p453-68 Aut 1985

The random response technique was compared to a direct questionnaire, administered to college students, to investigate whether or not the responses predicted the social desirability of the item. Results suggest support for the hypothesis. A 33-item version of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale which was used is included. (GDC)
