This study investigated the relationship between sex differences and the perception of life events as influenced by social desirability. Change events in the lives of 71 subjects being admitted to the adult inpatient unit of a large mental health center were measured by the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire. Social desirability and role perception were measured using the L-Scale of the Mini-Mult, an abbreviated form of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The findings suggest that sex differences in the appraisal of life events have a social desirability bias rather than an intrinsic difference between males and females.
本研究调查了性别差异与受社会期望影响的生活事件认知之间的关系。通过近期生活变化问卷对一家大型心理健康中心成人住院部收治的71名受试者生活中的变化事件进行了测量。使用明尼苏达多相人格问卷简化版Mini-Mult的L量表测量社会期望和角色认知。研究结果表明，生活事件评估中的性别差异存在社会期望偏差，而非男性与女性之间的内在差异。
