本研究旨在验证日本版谦虚行为量表（MBS-J），以衡量谦虚作为一种自我呈现策略的行为方面。进行了两次初步调查和三项研究。研究1检验了MBS的析因效度、结构效度和内部一致性，在初步调查中加入了从日本样本中产生的emic项目。结果证实了自我淡化、他人增强和避免注意寻求的三因素结构，且各分量表具有良好的内部一致性。研究1和研究3也表明，MBS-J量表与理论相关构念（特质谦虚、独立和相互依存的自我构念、自我效能、自尊、认可动机和辩证自我）之间存在适当的相关关系，表明构念效度良好。采用两波调查，研究2显示MBS-J具有良好的重测信度。在研究3中，我们假设那些自我淡漠程度较高的人倾向于报告较低的外显自尊，这是由于自我呈现策略而不是实际的较低的自我关注。结果表明，自我淡忘与外显自尊呈显著负相关，与内隐自尊不相关，支持上述假设。这些发现证实了该量表对自我表现的适度行为的构念效度。
This investigation aimed to validate a Japanese version of the Modest Behavior Scale (MBS-J) to measure the behavioral aspects of modesty as a self-presentation tactic. Two preliminary surveys and three studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the factorial validity, construct validity, and internal consistency of the MBS, adding emic items generated from the Japanese sample in the preliminary surveys. The results confirmed a three-factor structure of Self-Effacement, Other-Enhancement, and Avoidance of Attention-Seeking, with good internal consistency for each subscale. Studies 1 and 3 also evinced appropriate correlations between the MBS-J subscales and theoretically related constructs, namely, trait modesty, independent and interdependent self-construal, self-efficacy, self-esteem, approval motivation, and dialectical self, suggesting good construct validity. Using a two-wave survey, Study 2 showed good test–retest reliability for the MBS-J. In Study 3, it was hypothesized that those with higher Self-Effacement tend to report lower explicit self-esteem owing to a self-presentation strategy instead of actual lower self-regard. The results showed that Self-Effacement was strongly negatively correlated with explicit self-esteem but not correlated with implicit self-esteem, supporting the hypothesis. These findings confirm the construct validity of this scale for modest behavior performed as self-presentation.
