One of the main concerns in this respect is socially desirable responding (SDR), either seen as a display of a tendency of the respondent (socially desirable response style: SDRS), or as a reaction to the item content and\/or influence of the situation. There are several ways in which researchers have attempted to measure and\/or reduce SDR. No consensus about the best strategy to measure SDRS and\/or reduce SDR has been reached and there is currently no recommended method for dealing with SDR in Internet surveys. The general aim of the research project was to study methods for dealing with SDR in Internet surveys and present practical approaches to the problem, by evaluating a previously developed measure of SDRS and creating a short form suited for Internet administration, as well as developing a practical method for reducing SDR in Internet surveys. The thesis presents two approaches to the problems posed by SDR in Internet surveys: the MCSD-SF and the QHR method. Promising results were obtained for both the MCSD-SF and the QHR and both are easy to implement in Internet surveys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Um doktorsefni\u00f0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vaka V\u00e9steinsd\u00f3ttir er f\u00e6dd \u00ed Reykjav\u00edk \u00e1ri\u00f0 1980.
