Abstract
The research included five chapters, with the first chapter being the introduction, which highlighted the importance of the Social Desirability Scale in the field of educational psychology and its significance in various fields. Social desirability refers to a person’s tendency to choose responses that reflect the behavior most accepted by the group to which they belong, represented by the sum of scores that match the answer key prepared for the scale, which was developed by Lorenberg and translated by the researcher into Arabic. The problem lies in understanding the work situation among the guides of Baghdad University – Diyala and comparing the work between the two universities in order to address errors and improve the scouting work of the guides. Research Objectives: To identify the social desirability values of the guides of the scouting team of Baghdad University – Diyala. To identify the differences in social desirability values among the guides of the scouting team of Baghdad University – Diyala. To understand the relationship between social desirability values and the results of scouting competitions. Research Hypotheses: There are no statistically significant differences in social desirability values among the guides of the scouting team of Baghdad University – Diyala. There are no statistically significant correlations between social desirability values and the results of scouting team competitions.
