Sažetak
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of a socially desirable response with personality traits and intelligence in a real selection situation. Starting from the Paulhus’ (1984) social desirability model, we examined a relationship of impression management and self-deception with general cognitive ability and three personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism) on a sample of applicants competing for the Ministry of Defense’s educational program (N=602). In accordance with the hypothesis, two social desirability components showed different correlations with personality traits and intelligence. Self-deception correlated positively with emotional stability and extraversion, and impression management negatively with psychoticism and intelligence. Differences in correlation patterns supported the thesis that self-deception and impression management represent two different forms of socially desirable response. Contrary to the basic hypothesis of Paulhus’ model, it seems that the difference between components is not in their level of consciousness but in manner of self-presentation.
