Psychological Testing and Assessment Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Deception detection and forensic psychology

Abstract

Evaluated the effectiveness of 13 different MMPI taking detection techniques and computed the amount of variance associated with faking that could be accounted for by the various detection strategies. One hundred and fifty undergraduate psychology students were asked to take the MMPI in one of three fashions: Faking Bad, Faking Good, and in a Legitimate but anonymous fashion. The results were cross-validated against a clinical sample of 53 Ss who had been selected in such a way that there was reason to believe that they had either taken the MMPI in a Faked Bad, Faked Good, or Legitimate fashion. Results indicate that from 10% to 81% of the variance associated with faking can be accounted for by various detection strategies. Further, the detection techniques of F-K ≥ 7 for Faking Bad and F-K ≤ -11 for Faking Good are recommended for present clinical use given the results of this study.
