Background and Objectives: In this study we review the use of the Positive
Presentation Management (PPM) and Negative Presentation Management (NPM)
scales, two NEO-PI-R derived measures originally devised to control for biased and distorted
responses. These scales have been used with normative, job selection and clinical
samples, in cross-sectional and experimental studies.
Methods: Web-based and manual searches in personality and psychological assessment
journals were conducted, and information on the PPM and NPM scales was systematically
recorded. Means, standard deviations and reliability coefficients were summarized
and compared between three types of samples: normative, job selection and clinical.
Results: Five studies were performed with normative samples (33%), 3 with employment
samples (20%) and 7 with clinical samples (47%). Cross-sectional designs were
most common (60%), although there were also experimental studies (40%). Reported reliability
coefficients were lower than usually accepted. There were differences in mean
PPM and NPM scores in regard to the study sample background.
Conclusions: There were some discrepancies when reporting PPM and NPM results
across the reviewed studies. Normative and employment samples scored higher in PPM
than clinical samples. Clinical samples scored higher in NPM than normative and employment
samples The PPM and NPM scales could be useful in applied situations, although
parallel sources of information should be taken into account to detect distorted responses
to the questionnaire. However, the results on these scales should be
systematically reported in future studies. |
