Socially desirable responding (SDR) is usually treated as a “noise” in psychological research, to be con - trolled for by creating certain conditions for respondents. We tested a range of cues aimed to decrease/ increase SDR to be applied/avoided in selection or recruitment. To decrease it, we developed two novel procedures: one inspired by the bogus pipeline in which the respondents were induced to believe we can objectively record their sincerity (all three studies), and the other, inspired by the Bayesian Truth Serum (BTS) method, in which the respondents were rewarded points for sincerity (Study 3). To increase it, we exposed the respondents to descriptive group norms signaling socially desirable behaviors in their peers (Study 1 and Study 2). We measured SDR via overclaiming (Study 1 and Study 3), L and K scales from the MMPI (Study 1), and attitudes towards vulnerable groups (Study 2). Across all three studies, we decreased the SDR via newly developed procedures, but failed to increase it, indicating a “default” level of positive self-presentation. When we compared the two procedures for decreasing SDR (overclaiming indices), the one inspired by the bogus pipeline was more effective than the BTS-inspired one (Study 3).

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mediating effects of social connectedness and optimism in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mental wellbeing. The sample consisted of 826 individuals (57.7% females, M age = 23.97, SD = 7.65). The participants completed four scales measuring mental wellbeing, fear of COVID-19, social connectedness, and optimism. The correlation analysis results showed that mental wellbeing, social connectedness, and optimism were negatively related to fear of COVID-19. Additionally, structural equation modeling revealed that social connectedness and optimism mediated the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mental wellbeing. Findings expanded our understanding of the association among COVID-19 fear, social connectedness, optimism, and mental wellbeing during the pandemic.
