Abstract
Social desirability can be conceived as a proxy for self-deception, as it involves a positive attribution side and a denial side. Peoplewithmental disorders have lower scores on measures of social desirability, which could depend on cognitive load caused by symptoms. This suggests that selfdeception is an active strategy and not merely a faulty cognitive process.
