13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
As part of a larger investigation of response effects on organizational surveys, the present study compared the responses of
Hispanic and non-Hispanic U.S. Navy recruits on the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR). The inventory contains
two measures of socially desirable responding: impression management, the deliberate tendency to over-report desirable behaviors
and under-report undesirable ones, and self-deceptive enhancement, the tendency to give overly positive but honest self-reports.
Hispanic recruits had significantly higher scores than non-Hispanic Whites on impression management; the two groups did not,
however, differ on self-deceptive enhancement. These findings suggest that Hispanics may be more likely than non-Hispanic Whites
to present a positive picture of themselves to others but do not differ from non-Hispanic Whites on the amount of positive self-
deceptive enhancement they engage in. The results were interpreted with reference to the Hispanic cultural value of simpatia.
