背景：这些研究试图调查社会期望和自我报告的健康危险行为之间的关系。例如，在一个实施例中，酒精使用，药物使用，吸烟）在基于网络的研究。方法：三个纵向研究（研究1：N = 5612，51%为女性;研究2：N = 619，60%;研究3：N = 846，59%）（荷兰语;德语）使用几个社会可取性措施（Marlowe-Crowne量表;期望反应平衡量表;社会期望量表-17）进行。社会期望与自我报告的当前行为或行为频率无关。社会人口统计学（年龄;性别;教育）没有缓和的影响，社会的愿望对自我报告的措施，健康风险behaviors.Conclusions：手头的研究提供了没有令人信服的证据，怀疑互联网作为一种媒介，收集自我报告的健康风险behaviors.

Background: These studies sought to investigate the relation between social desirability and self-reported health risk behaviors (e. g., alcohol use, drug use, smoking) in web-based research.Methods: Three longitudinal studies (Study 1: N = 5612, 51% women; Study 2: N = 619, 60%; Study 3: N = 846, 59%) among randomly selected members of two online panels (Dutch; German) using several social desirability measures (Marlowe-Crowne Scale; Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding; The Social Desirability Scale-17) were conducted.Results: Social desirability was not associated with self-reported current behavior or behavior frequency. Sociodemographics (age; sex; education) did not moderate the effect of social desirability on self-reported measures regarding health risk behaviors.Conclusions: The studies at hand provided no convincing evidence to throw doubt on the usefulness of the Internet as a medium to collect self-reports on health risk behaviors.
