Stocké, Volker, (2004). Determinants and Consequences of Survey Respondents´
Social Desirability Beliefs about Racial Attitudes.
Abstract: "In this article we analyze beliefs about the social desirability of ten racial
attitude items from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS). These beliefs
indicate that the items, as well as respondents with regard to different sex, age and
education, are differently prone to social desirability bias. Demographic response
differences may thus only reflect differences in social desirability bias. We matched
the desirability differences between the items and demographic groups with the racial
attitude responses from the independent, nationwide sample of the ALLBUS survey
in 1996. The desirability beliefs obtained from our urban, West German sample predicted
the attitude answers, and this predictability was stronger for ALLBUS respondents
with the same characteristics. Our results suggest that the ALLBUS data is
subject to social desirability bias, that particular items are more strongly affected,
and that differences in the attitude reports according to the respondents' age and education
should be interpreted with caution.".

Stolle, Dietlind und Rochon, Thomas R., (1998). Are all associations alike? Member
Diversity, Associated Type, and the Creation of Social Capital. American Behavioral
Scientist, 42: 47-65.
Abstract: "Associational memberships have become the indicator of choice for examining
the formation and destruction of social capital. Memberships in associations
are believed to create generalized interpersonal trust, which can be used as a lubricant
that makes possible a variety of forms of social interaction and cooperation.
Clearly, not all types of associations will be equally effective in their relative capacity
to create generalized, or public, social capital. Each indicator of social capital that
we examine is positively related to associational membership. However, some association
memberships, particularly in cultural groups, are correlated with a wide range
of forms of social capital. The diversity of an association also has an effect on the
connection between social capital and association memberships. Homogenious associations
are less likely to inculcate high levels of generalized trust and community
reciprocity among their members. These results indicate the need for further specification
of the social capital theory." Die Autoren vergleichen im Rahmen ihrer Analyse
