Effects of Two Types of Information on Malingering of Closed Head Injury on the MMPI-2: An Analog Investigation.
1994
The impact of detailed information on closed-head injury (CHI) and/or the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity scales on malingering of psychological symptoms of CHI on the MMPI-2 was investigated. In an analog investigation using college student Ss, experimental malingerers produced reliably different MMPI-2 protocols relative to controls answering honestly. Experimental malingerers were divided into 4 groups on the basis of the complete crossing of 2 factors: CHI information (present/absent) and MMPI-2 validity scale information (VAL; present/absent). No two-way interactions were noted, but main effects for both factors were found on several MMPI-2 clinical and validity scales
