Results of regression analyses on data from 96 first-year undergraduates indicated that social desirability (Jackson and Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scales), particularly scores on the Jackson scale, is related strongly to scores on measures of adjustment (Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire), self-efficacy (Hale-Fibel Generalized Expectation for Success Scale), and independence (Psychological Separation Inventory) from mother, but not from father. In addition, both the Jackson and Marlowe-Crowne scales were correlated highly. Independence from parents and self-efficacy each continued to show a relationship with adjustment to university after social desirability effects were removed. Failure to remove the effect(s) of social desirability from the present measures is likely to lead to inflated estimates of their relation to each other or to other measures.
对96名大学一年级学生的数据进行回归分析的结果表明，社会期望（杰克逊社会期望量表和马洛-克罗恩社会期望量表），尤其是杰克逊量表的得分，与适应度测量（学生适应大学问卷）、自我效能感（黑尔-菲贝尔成功广义期望量表）以及与母亲的独立性（心理分离量表）得分密切相关，但与父亲的独立性得分无关。此外，杰克逊量表和马洛-克罗恩量表的相关性都很高。在去除社会期望效应后，与父母的独立性和自我效能感各自继续显示出与大学适应度的关系。未能从当前测量中去除社会期望效应可能会导致对它们彼此之间或与其他测量之间关系的高估。
