Cross-Validation of a Psychological Test Battery to Detect Faked Insanity.
Schretlen, David; And Others
Psychological Assessment, v4 n1 p77-83 Mar 1992
Eight predictor variables from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the Bender Gestalt, and a Malingering Scale differentiated 20 prison inmates faking insanity from 40 nonfaking controls. A second experiment with 22 substance abusers faking insanity and 20 schizophrenics also supports the use of the test battery to detect faking. (SLD)
