The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) is a psychometric tool that serves as a 40-item self-report questionnaire. BIDR assesses the potential social desirability bias in respondents' answers and further shows the composition of impression management (IM) and self-deception enhancement (SDE) within that bias.
The Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC–SDS) is a 33-item self-report questionnaire that assesses whether or not respondents are concerned with social approval.

[1] It can take the form of over-reporting "good behavior" or under-reporting "bad" or undesirable behavior.
[5] [7] These studies also call into question earlier research that investigated response bias on the basis of their research methodologies. For example, they mention that many of the studies had very small sample sizes, or that in studies looking at social desirability, a subtype of response bias, the researchers had no way to quantify the ...
The neurological process that activates bias explains how social desirability bias may impact Harris. The process has three nodes: contact, trigger, and reaction or response.
Self-reported answers may be exaggerated; [7] respondents may be too embarrassed to reveal private details; various biases may affect the results, like social desirability bias. There are also cases when respondents guess the hypothesis of the study and provide biased responses that 1) confirm the researcher's conjecture; 2) make them look good ...

This effect may appear early in a test due to an expectation that questions which the subject has stronger views on may follow, such that on earlier questions ...
