我们比较了两类决策任务对社会期望的敏感性：基于描述的任务和基于经验的任务。参与者在两种情况下完成了一系列决策任务：一种是控制条件，要求他们尽最大努力；另一种是印象条件，要求他们在招聘决定的背景下给评委留下深刻印象。据预测，印象状况会导致比对照状况相对较低的风险承担水平。基于描述的任务证实了这一点，而基于经验的任务对印象操纵相当健壮。这一发现指出了基于经验的任务在评估个体差异方面的潜力，特别是在社会合意性普遍存在的情况下。第二个发现是，冒险水平在描述-体验差异上表现出一致性，但根据任务对社会合意性的不同敏感性，这只在控制条件下观察到。版权所有(C)2009 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
We compared the sensitivity of two classes of decision tasks to social desirability: description-based tasks and experience-based tasks. Participants completed a battery of decision tasks in two conditions: a Control condition in which they were asked to perform their best, and an Impression condition in which they were required to impress judges in the context of hiring decisions. The Impression condition was predicted to elicit relatively lower levels of risk taking than the Control condition. This was confirmed for the description-based tasks while the experience-based tasks were fairly robust to the impression manipulation. This finding points to the potential of experience-based tasks' for assessing individual differences, particularly in situations where social desirability is prevalent. A second finding is that risk taking levels showed consistency across the description-experience divide, but in line with the different sensitivity of the tasks to social desirability, this was only observed in the Control condition.
