Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es describir la Escala de Deseabilidad Social de Marlowe-Crowne (Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale; M-C SDS) y revisar sus propiedades psicométricas, especialmente de su adaptación española más popular, tanto en su formato original como en su versión breve. La M-C SDS es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados y validados para medir la deseabilidad social entendida como sesgo de respuesta a la hora de responder a los instrumentos de evaluación psicológica. En el artículo se examina el constructo de deseabilidad social y se compara con otros constructos relacionados con la falta de sinceridad (p. ej., autoengaño, manipulación de la imagen, mentira, disimulación, simulación, fingimiento, defensividad), se describe detalladamente la aplicación, corrección e interpretación de la M-C SDS como medida de deseabilidad social, especialmente en el campo de la psicología legal y forense, y se discuten sus ventajas e incovenientes con ese objetivo y en ese contexto.
The objective of this article is to describe the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (M-C SDS) and review its psychometric properties, especially concerning its most widely used Spanish adaptation, both in its original format and its brief version. The M-C SDS is one of the most widely used and validated instruments for measuring social desirability understood as response bias when responding to psychological assessment instruments. In this article, the construct of social desirability is examined and compared with other constructs related to lack of sincerity (e.g., self-deception, impression management, faking, dissimulation, malingering, feigning, defensiveness), the application, correction and interpretation of the M-C SDS as a measure of social desirability are exaplained in detail, especially in the field of forensic and legal psychology, and the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the M-C SDS with that objective and in that context are discussed.
