limitations - 2nd paragraph question about quote from larsen and buss
Hi,
I'm working on editing limitations based off what Jaimie has said which is to try and eliminate the numbers (list) and make it more flow as a paragraph format. this is my most current edit in quotations. I am wondering who put the quote from Larsen & Buss because I changed the word likable to appealing since likable sounded awkward.However if it is a direct quote then I shouldn't change it and if it is a direct quote it also has to be in quotations. One limitation with using the self-report method is people may be biased and untruthful when responding to questions regarding sensitive behaviors and private details. Generally, people tend to have the bias of social desirability, which is a tendency to answer items in a way that is socially appealing(Larsen & Buss). By responding with this bias, people may produce a falsely positive impression of themselves by responding with what they believe to be socially accepted in the Western culture.
