Purpose: The purpose of this study was to prove the influence of method biases of social desirability on the sequential process of basic psychological needs → motivation → flow and emotion, suggested in HMIEM. Methods: This study conducted a questionnaire survey with 307 high school athletes. Structural Equation Model was employed to look into the scale of common method biases induced by social desirability. Results: As a result, a, b, and c, each of which is factor loading prior to control of social desirability, were .76, .80, and -.31, as shown in figure 2. Each factor loading after control of social desirability (shown in table 2) fell to .43, .56, and -.18. With regard to the SMC of each latent variable prior to control, the SMC of motivation was 57.5%, that of flow 63.5%, and that of emotion 9.8%. However, after control, motivation's SMC remarkably fell to 18.5%, flow's to 31.2%, and emotion's to 3.2%. Conclusion: Therefore, social desirability, one of common method biases, influenced the research model.

Hong, Se-Il. 1997. Pragmatic Function of Questions: Their Illocutionary Forces and Social Hierarchy. Studies in Modern Grammatical Theories, 11: 143-161. Questioning is a speech act which affect the way of conveying meaning and the meaning of questions must be partly dependent of rules governing social relationships. The primary purpose of this paper is to show the relationship between the pragmatic functions of questions and social hierarchy between speaker and listener. Three oral corpus of English and two TV drama scripts of Korean were examined and three different kinds of relationship (intimacy, authority, social distance) were assumed. The findings are as follows: 1) Questions can be classified in the modes of their pragmatic function: information questions, examination questions, rhetorical questions, requests, statements. 2) According to the English data, when information is requested, we have the expression of immediate concern. The function of examination questions is to control the respondent`s knowledge, while questions of indirect requests function as requests. Formality characterizes the use of questions of indirect requests and social relationships the use of rhetorical questions. 3) Korean data show that social hierarchy influences more heavily on the speaker`s discourse strategies in choosing the mode of questions. < Table 2 > manifests that information is easily obtained by friends or close family members, while it is rarely or indirectly obtained by senior members or authority figures.
