A Escala de Respostas Socialmente Desejáveis-5: Validação numa Amostra Escolar de Jovens Portugueses.

The main aim of the present study was to validate the Socially Desirable Response Set -5 (SDRS-5) among a school sample (N=543) of male and female Portuguese youths. The SDRS-5 demonstrated good results, namely in terms of its one-factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion-related validityand known-groups validity. Cross-gender measurement invariance was demonstrated. The psychometric properties that were found mostly justify the use of the SDRS-5 among Portuguese adolescents from a school context.
