  • 1.  Request for Scales: Impression Mgmt., Hedging, & Response Consistency

    Posted 06-15-2015 02:18

    Dear Researchers

    I am looking for the following scales to examine the extent to which the responses to the questionnaire are real.

    1.      Impression management: Desire to create a positive impression through the use of exaggeration and embellishment.

    2.      Hedging: Tends to choose in-between or non-committal responses.

    3.      Response consistency: Level of attention, effort and/or cooperation applied when completing the questionnaire.

    If you have any of these scales or any idea about obtaining these scales, please write back to me.


    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear Vaibhav,

    I would take a look at Bolino, Kacmar, Turnley, and Gilstrap's review of impression management. Their comprehensive review of impression management was published in 2008 in JOM. A portion of their review specifically focuses on the measurement of impression management. They review measures such as the Wayne and Ferris (1990) measure, the Bolino and Turnley (1999) measure, the Andrews and Kacmar (2001) measure, etc. I think you will find what you are looking for regarding impression management.

    Hope that helps,

    Wayne

    Dear Vaibhav,

    I find the Inter-Nomological Network to be a great resource when searching for measures and/or construct items. INN is a search engine of sorts for measures and construct items.

    Below is a link to a list of search results for "Impression Management."

    All the best,
    Jamie

    Hello Vaibhav,

     

    Besides the suggestions of Wayne and Jamie, you could also take a look at:
