摘要

鉴于伦理研究的敏感性，社会期望偏差的存在威胁着研究结果的有效性。由于伦理学研究经常忽视这种偏见，我们的目的是提供证据，证明SDB在个体和情境因素之间存在差异。因此，我们研究了社会人口因素和调查模式对SDB的影响。总共有348名在职的成年人被随机选择参加了一项在线或离线的调查，其中包括8种版本的马洛-克朗社会期望(MCSD)量表。八个版本的可靠性范围从0.35到0.81。统计检验显示，不同的社会人口因素影响不同版本的MCSD量表。结果还表明，使用在线调查可以最大限度地减少SDB。本研究为未来的研究提供了现实意义和建议。

Measuring social desirability bias: Do the full and short versions of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale matter?

Given the sensitive nature of ethics research, the presence of social desirability bias (SDB) threatens the validity of research findings. As ethics studies often overlook this bias, we aimed to provide evidence that SDB varies across individual and situational factors. We thus investigated the influence of socio-demographic factors and survey modes on SDB. A total of 348 working adults were randomly chosen to participate in either an on-line or off-line survey containing eight versions of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability (MCSD) scale. The reliabilities for the eight versions ranged from 0.35 to 0.81. Statistical tests revealed that different socio-demographic factors influence different versions of the MCSD scale. The results also showed that using on-line surveys minimizes SDB. This study provides practical implications and suggestions for future research.
