Social validation is a methodology utilized to evaluate the social acceptability of treatment goals, procedures, and results of applied interventions. This methodology lends itself well to assessing the work performance of mentally retarded individuals in nonsheltered employment settings, i.e., competitive employment. In this investigation, work evaluations provided by managers, shift supervisors, nonhandicapped co-workers, and mentally retarded workers (self) were analyzed. Results indicated significant differences across rater groups with regard to worker evaluation. Mentally retarded individuals rated their own work behavior most positively, followed by co-workers, shift supervisors, and managers, respectively. Rater groups disagreed particularly with respect to evaluating mentally retarded workers' job skills and interpersonal relationships in the job environment. Implications of these findings to the issues of concordance and consumer validation are discussed.
社会效度是一种用于评估治疗目标、程序以及应用干预结果的社会可接受性的方法。这种方法非常适合评估智力障碍个体在非庇护性就业环境（即竞争性就业）中的工作表现。在本次调查中，分析了经理、轮班主管、非残疾同事以及智力障碍员工（自评）提供的工作评估。结果表明，不同评分者群体在对员工的评估上存在显著差异。智力障碍个体对自己工作行为的评价最为积极，其次分别是同事、轮班主管和经理。评分者群体在评估智力障碍员工的工作技能和工作环境中的人际关系方面存在特别大的分歧。讨论了这些发现对一致性和消费者效度问题的影响。
