%X The objective of the research was to validate and improve a scale of measuring the social desirability which contains three factors described in the scientific literature: impression management, self deception and utility (Paulhus, 1984; Beauvois, 2003). Firstly, we analyzed the initial scale of 126 items, testing content validity and selecting 15 items per factor using the expert¡¯s test. In testing the concurrent validity of the DS10 Scale we used two scales: BIDR (Paulhus, 1988) and the Crowne-Marlowe Scale (1964 apud Tatman, 2009). We also tested the internal consistency and the three dimenssional structure. The results stand for a solid scale, cosidering both concurrent validity and internal consistency, with a stable and well-defined factorial structure, including the three envisaged factors: impression management, self deception and utility.
