Since admitting distress is often considered undesirable, the role of social desirability as a moderator variable in the assessment of traumatic events scores, on the PTSD Interview, and diagnosis was investigated. A sample of 342 city bus drivers were grouped by their lifetime exposure to trauma (nonexposed, stressful but nontraumatic event, traumatic event). Analyses replicate and extend findings from the literature on life events: social desirability plays a marginal role as a moderator variable in the assessment of trauma.
由于承认痛苦通常被认为是不可取的，因此研究了社会期望作为调节变量在创伤事件评分评估、创伤后应激障碍访谈和诊断中的作用。对342名城市公交车司机进行抽样，根据他们一生遭受创伤的情况（未暴露、有压力但非创伤性事件、创伤性事件）进行分组。分析重复并扩展了关于生活事件的文献中的发现：在创伤评估中，社会期望作为调节变量只起了很小的作用。
