Abstract

Researchers consistently have demonstrated the distorting effects that inattentive (responding without regard for survey content) and socially desirable (presenting one’s self in an overly positive way) responding can have on quantitative data. These threats to validity usually go undetected in counseling research, which is concerning given that counseling research often considers implications for practice and that research-based practice is in demand. In this article, the authors review practical approaches for detecting and addressing inattentive and socially desirable response tendencies in counseling research, thereby optimizing the validity of conclusions inferred from data.

注意力不集中和社会期望的回应

研究人员不断证明，注意力不集中(不考虑调查内容的回答)和社会期望(以过于积极的方式展示自我)的回答会对定量数据产生扭曲效应。这些对有效性的威胁通常在咨询研究中未被发现，这是令人担忧的，因为咨询研究经常考虑对实践的影响，而基于研究的实践是有需求的。在本文中，作者回顾了在咨询研究中检测和解决注意力不集中和社会期望的反应倾向的实用方法，从而优化从数据推断的结论的有效性。
