To examine demand characteristics, social desirability on clients' rating of working alliance using the Session Rating Scale (SRS; Miller, Duncan, & Johnson, 2000).
Clients (N = 102) at two sites were randomly assigned to one of three alliance feedback conditions: (a) IF--SRS completed in presence of therapist and the results discussed immediately afterward; (b) Next Session Feedback--SRS completed alone and results discussed next session; or (c) No Feedback--SRS completed alone and results not available to therapist. Clients completed the SRS for the first three sessions of treatment.
No statistically significant differences in SRS scores across the feedback conditions were found. Additionally, the analysis showed that SRS scores were not correlated with a measure of social desirability but were correlated with an established alliance measure.
The results indicate that alliance scores were not inflated due to the presence of a therapist or knowing that the scores would be observed by the therapist.
使用会谈评估量表（SRS；Miller、Duncan 和 Johnson，2000）检验客户对工作联盟的评估中的需求特征和社会期望。
两个地点的客户（N=102）被随机分配到三种联盟反馈条件之一：（a）IF-SRS 在治疗师在场的情况下完成，并立即讨论结果；（b）下一次会谈反馈-SRS 单独完成，结果在下一次会谈中讨论；或（c）无反馈-SRS 单独完成，结果治疗师无法获得。客户在治疗的前三个阶段完成了 SRS。
在反馈条件下，SRS 得分没有统计学上的显著差异。此外，分析表明，SRS 得分与社会期望的衡量标准不相关，但与既定的联盟衡量标准相关。
结果表明，由于治疗师的存在或知道治疗师将观察分数，联盟分数没有被夸大。
