Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -“Social desirability” is the defensive tendency of individuals to portray themselves in keeping with perceived cultural norms, whereas “social approval” is the need to obtain a positive response in a testing situation (4).
Detailed explanation-2: -Social desirability bias is one of the most common sources of bias. It leads to over-reporting of socially desirable behaviours or attitudes, and under-reporting of socially undesirable behaviours or attitudes. As a result, reported answers will differ from true answers.
