Abstract
200 Ss were administered the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability scale ( M-C SD) and a modified form of the MMPI, in order to evaluate the contention that the M-C SD is statistically independent of MMPI indices of psychopathology. Significant negative correlations were obtained between the M-C SD and 8 of the 10 MMPI indices of psychopathology employed.Keywords
