Children’s Social Desirability Short Scale (CSD-S) means (and standard deviations) and test-retest reliabilities of subgroups

Variable	n	Mean (SD)^a 1^st administration	Mean (SD) 2^nd administration	Pearson correlation
Assessment mode
Interview	77	8.4 (3.7)	8.2 (4.1)	.85
Classroom	80	6.8 (3.5)	7.1 (3.9)	.83
Gender
Girls	72	8.2 (3.6)	8.2 (3.8)	.82
Boys	85	7.1 (3.7)	7.2 (4.2)	.86
Socioeconomic status^b
Free/reduced price meals	118	8.0 (3.6)	8.2 (4.0)	.82
Full price meals	25	6.7 (3.9)	6.6 (4.0)	.87
Race
European American	65	7.3 (3.7)	7.1 (4.2)	.86
African American	79	7.8 (3.6)	7.9 (3.7)	.81
Hispanic/mixed	13	8.4 (4.6)	8.5 (5.0)	.89
Body mass index percentile
< 85^th percentile	94	7.2 (3.7)	7.3 (37)	.83
≥ 85^th percentile	63	8.2 (3.7)	8.1 (4.1)	.86
Total	157	7.6 (3.7)	7.6 (4.0)	.84

Possible scores for CSD-S scale range from 0 to 14.

The total n was 157 but the SES subgroups n was 143 because it was not possible to link 14 children to the aggregate results of the data provided by the state’s Department of Education.
