Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gender differences and relationship between social quotient and how people present themselves in social situations i.e., social desirability. The research study consisted of 25 males and 75 female participants. The participants were asked to complete the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-SDS) and the Measuring Social Intelligence-The MESI Methodology (MESI) scale. The factors of Social Quotient (Empathy, Manipulation, and Social Irritability) were analysed with Social Desirability. The data was analysed using IMB SPSS for Correlation, Simple Linear Regression and Independent Sample t-test. The results showed that there is a weak negative relationship between Manipulation and Social Irritability with Social desirability. Empathy has a positive influence on Social Desirability while Manipulation, and Social Irritability have a negative influence. There was no significant difference in gender between male and female for Social Desirability however in Social Quotient for manipulation, males had a higher score in comparison to females.
