BIDR-6 Survey Responses from 130 Individuals Across Four Groups

130 individuals from inmate, nurse, manager, and working adult groups completed the 16-item Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR-6) short form. The dataset, authored by Anna M. Dåderman and last updated in April 2026, was used to examine the two-factor structure of Self-Deceptive Enhancement and Impression Management and their correlations with Big Five and HEXACO personality traits.

Use Cases

• Validate the two-factor structure of the BIDR-6 based on the Self-Deceptive Enhancement and Impression Management constructs described.
• Examine differential item functioning and construct validity across heterogeneous groups like inmates and nurses mentioned in the description.
• Analyze correlations between social desirability scales and broader personality frameworks like Big Five and HEXACO as discussed in the results.
• Replicate psychometric analyses such as exploratory graph analysis and item response theory on the short-form instrument.

Strengths

• Data from 130 individuals across four distinct groups (inmates, nurses, managers, working adults) allows for comparative analysis.
• Analysis includes multiple psychometric methods (exploratory graph analysis, item response theory, differential item functioning, confirmatory factor analysis) as described.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 23.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
