The Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale and Social Desirability

Winston J. Hagborg

Chatham Central Schools

The present study examined the relationship between the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) and social desirability (Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale), with a sample of nonclinical high school students (N = 78). Findings support the concurrent validity of the RCMAS' Lie Scale as a measure of social desirability. The pattern of variable correlates indicated that higher levels of male social desirability is significantly related to lower levels of self-report anxiety, while a significant relationship between these measures was not found for females.
