Description
130 individuals from inmate, nurse, manager, and working adult groups completed the 16-item Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding. Anna M. Dåderman's research, last updated in April 2026, used exploratory graph analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the two-factor structure of Self-Deceptive Enhancement and Impression Management.
Use Cases

Strengths
Dataset includes 130 individuals from four distinct groups (inmates, nurses, managers, working adults).
