PURPOSE
The current study mainly aimed to investigate the impact of social desirability in predicting life satisfaction in cognitively healthy elderly people.
METHODS
One hundred and seventy-eight 65- to 99-year-old adults were recruited in Sardinia, an Italian Isle known for the longevity of its inhabitants, and were presented a battery of questionnaires assessing subjective well-being, metacognitive efficiency, depressive symptoms and socially desirable responding style.
RESULTS
An analysis of covariance and a hierarchical regression analysis showed that the social desirable style does have a marginal impact on self-referent measures of life satisfaction. Indeed, only 5 % of the variance in life satisfaction was predicted by self-rated social desirability.
CONCLUSIONS
Social desirability does not seem to bias the self-assessment of an important aspect of quality of life in late adulthood. That is, life satisfaction of Italian elderly people does not seem to be impacted by the tendency to present themselves in a more favourable way.
目的
本研究主要旨在调查社会期望在预测认知健康老年人生活满意度方面的影响。
方法
在意大利撒丁岛招募了178名65至99岁的成年人，该岛以其居民的长寿而闻名，并向他们发放了一系列问卷，以评估主观幸福感、元认知效率、抑郁症状和社会期望反应方式。
结果
协方差分析和层次回归分析表明，社会期望方式确实对生活满意度的自我参照测量有一定影响。事实上，自我评定的社会期望仅预测了生活满意度中5%的方差。
结论
社会期望似乎不会使成年后期生活质量的一个重要方面的自我评估产生偏差。也就是说，意大利老年人的生活满意度似乎不受以更有利方式展现自己的倾向的影响。
