马洛-克罗社会期望量表(Crowne & Marlowe,1960)被广泛用于评估和控制自我报告研究中的反应偏差。马洛-克朗量表的几个缩写版本已被提出并在心理学和医学中被采用。在这篇文章中,我评估了9个简短的形式,使用验证性因素分析在2个样本(合并N = 867)的充分性。有一些证据表明,不同的简短形式的充分性,但模型的充分性是不一致的样本。补充分析揭示了一个多维的结构,以充分马洛-Crowne规模,并表示,明显适当的模型适合一些简短的形式可能是一个统计工件。基于经验和概念的理由,不鼓励使用马洛-克朗量表或其各种简短形式作为反应偏差的控制。
The Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960) is widely used to assess and control for response bias in self-report research. Several abbreviated versions of the Marlowe-Crowne scale have been proposed and adopted in psychology and medicine. In this article I evaluate the adequacy of 9 short forms using confirmatory factor analysis across 2 samples (combined N = 867). There was some evidence for the adequacy of different short forms, but model adequacy was not consistent across samples. Supplementary analyses revealed a multidimensional structure to the full Marlowe-Crowne scale and indicated that the apparent adequacy of model fit for some short forms might be a statistical artifact. Using the Marlowe-Crowne scale or its various short forms as a control for response bias is discouraged on empirical and conceptual grounds.
