本研究的目的是（i）检查报告的听力保护器使用与社会期望偏差之间的关系，以及（ii）比较使用两种不同方法管理的Marlowe-Crowne社会期望工具的结果（即在线和通过电话）。方法Marlowe-Crowne社会期望工具的简化版本，以及测量听力保护器使用的自我管理工具，在听力保护器使用的研究中对497名参与者进行管理。听力保护器的使用和社会期望偏差之间的关系进行了研究，使用回归分析。两种方法的管理马洛皇冠社会可取性仪器的结果进行了比较，使用t检验和回归analysis.ResultsReliability（使用克朗巴赫的阿尔法）为缩短七项规模为这个样本是0.58。没有证据表明报告的听力保护器使用和社会可取性报告偏差之间的关系，通过缩短的马洛-克朗测量。管理方法（即在线，电话）的结果的差异是非常小的。ConclusionsThis是第一次发表的研究，以衡量社会的愿望偏差在农民之间的听力保护器的使用报告。本研究的结果不支持农民报告听力保护器使用中存在社会期望偏差，支持自我报告在该人群中使用听力保护器的有效性。
ObjectiveThe purposes of this study were (i) to examine the relationship between reported hearing protector use and social desirability bias, and (ii) to compare results of the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability instrument when administered using two different methods (i.e. online and by telephone).MethodsA shortened version of the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability instrument, as well as a self-administered instrument measuring use of hearing protectors, was administered to 497 participants in a study of hearing protector use. The relationship between hearing protector use and social desirability bias was examined using regression analysis. The results of two methods of administration of the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability instrument were compared usingt-tests and regression analysis.ResultsReliability (using Cronbach’s alpha) for the shortened seven-item scale for this sample was 0.58. There was no evidence of a relationship between reported hearing protector use and social desirability reporting bias, as measured by the shortened Marlowe-Crowne. The difference in results by method of administration (i.e. online, telephone) was very small.ConclusionsThis is the first published study to measure social desirability bias in reporting of hearing protector use among farmers. Findings of this study do not support the presence of social desirability bias in farmers’ reporting of hearing protector use, lending support for the validity of self-report in hearing protector use in this population.
