Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respondents may perceive experimenters who score high on the social desirability scale as more friendly and enthusiastic, which could lead to more positive outcomes in their research. However, these experimenters are not expected to obtain more "I don't know" answers from respondents, as this would indicate a lack of knowledge or clarity on the part of the experimenter, which is not desirable or socially desirable. Additionally, while experimenters who score high on the social desirability scale may be more likely to smile at their subjects, this is not an accurate indicator of their personality traits or research abilities.
