This study examined the substantive features of children's social desirability (SD) tendencies that could influence the nature and severity of psychopathology. Examinations of substantive features of SD responding in an inpatient child psychiatry unit (N = 76) suggested that higher scores on the Children's Social Desirability questionnaire were associated strongly with (1) lower mental age; (2) higher scores on self-reported social competence; (3) lower scores on self-reported anger; and (4) lower scores on parent-reported externalization behavioral disturbance. Results were interpreted as suggesting that SD responding for child inpatients may reflect a mixed picture of negative features of cognitive and social immaturity that could affect adversely their ability to judge their own and others' social behavior and of positive features of less external behavioral disturbance and more prosocial attitudes and behaviors.
本研究探讨了儿童社会期望（SD）倾向的实质性特征，这些特征可能会影响精神病理学的性质和严重程度。对一个儿童精神科住院单元（N = 76）中SD反应的实质性特征进行的调查表明，儿童社会期望问卷得分较高与以下因素密切相关：（1）心理年龄较低；（2）自我报告的社会能力得分较高；（3）自我报告的愤怒得分较低；（4）家长报告的外化行为障碍得分较低。研究结果被解释为表明，住院儿童的SD反应可能反映了认知和社会不成熟的负面特征与较少的外部行为障碍以及更亲社会的态度和行为的正面特征的混合情况，而这些负面特征可能会对他们判断自己和他人社会行为的能力产生不利影响。
