Talk:Social desirability bias

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I cannot work out what this sentence means: "Being by nature social creatures, all people are inclined to seek some degree of social acceptance, and as with other psychological terms, 'social desirability' is by no means an epithet." Has an adjective been left out before the word "epithet", e.g. "empty" or "mere"? Even that would not be very clear. Do we really need anything after the words "social acceptance"? I can't see what work the rest of the sentence is doing. Metamagician3000 08:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
