Self-report studies often call for assessment of socially desirableresponding. Many researchers use the Marlowe–Crowne Scale for its brief versions;however, this scale is outdated, and contemporary models of social desirabilityemphasize its multi-dimensional nature. The 40-item Balanced Inventory of DesirableResponding (BIDR) incorporates Self-Deceptive Enhancement (honest but overly positiveresponding) and Impression Management (bias toward pleasing others). However, its lengthlimits its practicality. This article introduces the BIDR-16. In four studies, weshorten the BIDR from 40 items to 16 items, while retaining its two-factor structure,reliability, and validity. This short form will be invaluable to researchers wanting toassess social desirability when time is limited
