    This research aimed at contributing to the Brazilian adaptation of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSDS), with mounting evidence for its factorial validity and reliability. Two studies were performed in João Pessoa (Paraíba). In Study 1 participants were 398 undergraduate students, mainly females (51.5%), with a mean age of 21.4 years. In Study 2 participants were 313 undergraduate students, mainly females (50.8%), with a mean age of 21.8 years. Participants answered the MCSDS and demographic questions in both studies. In the first study, a Principal Component analysis indicated a 20-item unidimensional structure (MCSDS-20), accounting for 13% of the total variance (KR20 = .76). In the second study, a confirmatory factor analysis revealed as acceptable a one-factor model (AGFI = .90, and RMSEA = .05) for the MCSDS-20, with reliability (KR20) of .75. It was concluded this version can be adequately used for research in the context where it was adapted.

    Esta pesquisa objetivou contribuir para a adaptação brasileira da Escala de Desejabilidade Social de Marlowe-Crowne (EDSMC), reunindo evidências de sua validade fatorial e consistência interna. Realizaram-se dois estudos em João Pessoa (Paraíba). No Estudo 1 participaram 398 estudantes universitários, a maioria do sexo feminino (51,5%), com idade média de 21,4. No Estudo 2 participaram 313 estudantes universitários, predominando aqueles do sexo feminino (50,8%), com idade média de 21,8. Nos dois estudos os participantes responderam a EDSMC e perguntas demográficas. No primeiro estudo, realizou-se uma análise de Componentes Principais em que se observou a existência de um fator geral com 20 itens (EDSMC-20), explicando 13% da variância total (KR20 = 0,76). No segundo estudo, comprovou-se por meio da análise fatorial confirmatória que o modelo unifatorial proposto para a EDSMC-20 era aceitável (AGFI = 0,90 e RMSEA = 0,05), com KR20 = 0,75. Concluiu-se que esta medida pode ser empregada adequadamente em pesquisas no contexto em que foi adaptada.
