The study examined the construct‐related validity of a 13‐item short form of the Marlowe‐Crowne Social Desirability Scale advanced by Reynolds (1982), using the validity scales of the MMPI. With a sample of 481 Basic Military Trainees, the short form of the Marlowe‐Crowne replicated the correlations between the standard Marlowe‐Crowne and the MMPI validity scales initially reported by Crowne and Marlowe (1960). The results further support the short form of the Marlow‐Crowne Social Desirability Scale as an economical measure of social desirability.
