Abstract

Social desirability has been construed as either inaccurately attributing positive characteristics to oneself (self-deception), or inaccurately denying that one possesses undesirable characteristics to others (other-deception or impression management). These conceptualisations of social desirability have not been considered in relation to people with intellectual disabilities (IDs), but they are important constructs to consider when undertaking a psychological assessment of an individual, especially within forensic contexts. Therefore, we revised two existing measures of self- and other-deception and considered their psychometric properties.

Additional Information:	A correigdendum to this article has been published: "The authors would like to correct that they mistakenly reported within the article that they calculated a kappa value when determining the internal consistency of their measures. Instead, they actually calculated and reported Cronbach's alpha." See: Res. Dev. Disabil. 32 (3) (2011) 1240. DOI: 10.1016/j.ridd.2011.01.005
