在可以将自我报告的行为与事实数据进行比较的领域进行的研究表明，错误报告是普遍存在的，而且往往是极端的。误报的程度与社会期望的程度有关，即以文化上适当的方式作出反应的需要。受社会期望影响的人倾向于过度报告文化期望的行为，而低估不希望的行为。本文综述了性行为研究中的社会期望反应。鉴于性行为的私密性，性研究人员通常缺乏一个黄金标准来比较自我报告的性行为，并且依赖于参与者的匿名性作为确保性行为调查中诚实回答的方法。然而，间接证据表明，漏报（例如，性伴侣数目、接受性肛交、使用避孕套）是常见的。在普通人群中，一些研究报告称，即使是匿名回答，各种自我报告的性行为（例如，使用避孕套、性幻想、接触色情作品、阴茎大小）与社会期望之间也存在显著的相关性，有证据表明，极端的少报或多报与其他领域一样普遍。在提出高度敏感的问题时，性研究人员应该总是考虑到社会期望，并在分析结果时考虑到这一点。
Research in fields for which self-reported behaviors can be compared with factual data reveals that misreporting is pervasive and often extreme. The degree of misreporting is correlated with the level of social desirability, i.e., the need to respond in a culturally appropriate manner. People who are influenced by social desirability tend to over-report culturally desired behaviors and under-report undesired behaviors. This paper reviews socially desirable responding in sexual behavior research. Given the very private nature of the sexual activity, sex researchers generally lack a gold standard by which to compare self-reported sexual behaviors and have relied on the anonymity of participants as the methodology to assure honest answers on sexual behavior surveys. However, indirect evidence indicates that under-reporting (e.g., of a number of sexual partners, receptive anal intercourse, condom use) is common. Among the general population, several studies have now reported that even with anonymous responding, there are significant correlations between a variety of self-reported sexual behaviors (e.g., use of condoms, sexual fantasies, exposure to pornography, penis size) and social desirability, with evidence that extreme under- or over-reporting is as common as is found in other fields. When asking highly sensitive questions, sex researchers should always include a measure of social desirability and take that into account when analyzing their results.
