What does social desirability work on you?


真的很巧,

這趟旅程當中的一些對話,

讓我的腦海浮現一個問題:

為什麼"社會期待"對個體的影響是如此的無遠弗屆?

所謂"常模"的影響力似乎並不受國界、民族、族群而減低!

回來後也開學了,

在Health survey的課裡,

老師跟我們玩了一個好玩的小測驗-

THE MARLOWE-CROWNE SOCIAL DESIRABILITY SCALE

結果還挺能解釋為何我會有這個疑問浮現,

而其他大部分的人則很能將此視為"理所當然",

因為他們可能都是企業篩選任用時所謂的"好人(good person)"。

但其實老師鼓勵我們不要過度的以社會期待為完全的思考依歸,

否則無法發揮自我與創造力,

我想太守規矩可能也會無法很快樂吧?

還是其實如果完全甘於依循規範而行,

既使是簡單的完成日常作息也會很快樂呢?

對你什麼是重要的?

什麼是你成就與快樂的來源?

先找到這個答案,

然後就開始去追尋你的快樂吧!

測試內容:

請先記下你對每題的答案,T或是F,然後再到最下面計算分數。

1. I never hesitate to go out of my way to help someone in trouble.
2. I have never intensely disliked anyone.

3. There have been times when I was quite jealous of the good fortune of others.

4. I would never think of letting someone else be punished for my wrongdoings.

5. I sometimes feel resentful when I don't get my way.

6. There have been times when I felt like rebelling against people in authority even though I knew they were right.
7. I am always courteous, even to people who are disagreeable.

8. When I don't know something I don't at all mind admitting it.
9. I can remember "playing sick" to get out of something.

10. I am sometimes irritated by people who ask favors of me.



















答案:1. (T) 2. (T) 3. (F) 4. (T) 5. (F) 6. (F) 7. (T) 8. (T) 9. (F) 10. (F)

計分方式:答對一題得一分,以粗略的解釋來說,得分越高,越屬於符合社會期待取向,得分越低則反之。
