To evaluate the internal consistency reliability and discriminant validity of a Chinese language short form (14-item) of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, data from 197 Chinese medical students were analyzed. Half (48 men, M age = 23.0 yr.; 51 women, M age = 22.0 yr.) were randomly assigned to receive standard instructions, and half (46 men, M age = 21.7 yr.; 52 women, M age = 21.5 yr.) were given mock job-selection instructions. The latter had a higher mean Social Desirability score, which demonstrates discriminant validity. Split-half reliability was .71. Five factors were identified, but confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate fit with a 1- or 2-factor model. Despite the challenge of translation into Chinese (in this case, involving translation into Mandarin and back-translation by native speakers for examination by a native speaker of English), this short form appears to have adequate internal consistency reliability and discriminant validity.
为评估马洛-克劳恩社会赞许性量表中文简版（14项）的内部一致性信度和区分效度，对197名中国医学生的数据进行了分析。其中一半（48名男性，平均年龄 = 23.0岁；51名女性，平均年龄 = 22.0岁）被随机分配接受标准指导语，另一半（46名男性，平均年龄 = 21.7岁；52名女性，平均年龄 = 21.5岁）被给予模拟求职指导语。后者的社会赞许性平均得分更高，这表明了区分效度。分半信度为0.71。识别出了五个因素，但验证性因素分析表明，该量表与单因素或双因素模型拟合良好。尽管翻译成中文面临挑战（在本案例中，涉及翻译成普通话并由母语人士进行回译以供英语母语人士检查），但这个简版似乎具有足够的内部一致性信度和区分效度。
