The effects of social desirability and defensiveness on scores on 2 self-report psychiatric inventories, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (MHQ) were investigated in a female subject group assessed for research purposes in an occupational setting. It was found that defensiveness did not affect the reporting of somatic symptoms, but it significantly affected the reporting of all psychological distress. The effect of social desirability was more specific, only the GHQ social dysfunction subscale showing a significant correlation, an effect attributable to the influence of the setting in which the data were obtained.
在一个为职业环境中的研究目的而评估的女性受试者群体中，研究了社会期望和防御性对两份自我报告精神科问卷（一般健康问卷，GHQ；以及米德尔塞克斯医院问卷，MHQ）得分的影响。结果发现，防御性并不影响躯体症状的报告，但它显著影响所有心理困扰的报告。社会期望的影响更具特异性，仅GHQ社会功能障碍分量表显示出显著相关性，这种影响可归因于数据获取环境的影响。
