马洛—克罗恩社会赞许性量表对中国被试适用性之初步验证

The social desirability responding tendency(SDRT) usually makes the validity of self\|report data very low,and the MCSD Scale is a common measure to assess SDRT and its underlying construct—the need for approval.But the results of the present study employed Chinese subjects revealed the existence of the desire to appear honest or modest or to avoid of brag,and the stronger this social approval desire is,the lower ,but not higher as the constructors of MCSD expected,the scores on MCSD is.So,MCSD is not applicable to Chinese subjects very well.In addition,the results indicated that Chinese subjects were more responsive to negative items (one′s faults) than to positive ones(one′s merits) in MCSD.
