Abstract

This study investigated the role of socially desirable responding (SDR) in responses to survey questions about financial behavior among college students. Data was collected via an online survey from 1,159 students enrolled at a Midwestern university. Participants reported on credit card and savings behaviors and attitudes by answering direct questions (about their own behaviors) and indirect questions (scenarios about a typical other). Differences between the direct and indirect responses were examined for a relationship with a measure of socially desirable responding (SDR).
