A student of mine is doing a research project with a military sample and she has found a pretty strong negative correlation (about a third of the variance shared) between Snyder's Self-monitoring scale and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale. This correlation is not the main point of her hypothesis (which is that the military sample will have a higher rate of Social Desirability than the population) but it is quite puzzling. It would seem that the two scales should be positively correlated. Of course, the first check was to see if the scales might somehow be reversed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas?
