Abstract
The EPPS and M-C SD scale were administered to 72 male Ss. A correlation was computed between each S's EPPS profile and (1) the mean need scores of Edwards' college male norms and (2) the mean need scores of Stollak's SD male norms, compiled in a previous study by administering the EPPS under social desirability instructions. These correlations were considered Ss' CN and SD scores, respectively, and 2 further correlations were computed between each of these scores and the M-C scale scores. The CN – M-C correlation was –.05 but the SD – M-C correlation was a significant .44. The results provided support for the validity of the SD and M-C scale scores as indicators of need for social approval.
