Despite the proliferation of studies investigating methods for detecting malingering, important questions that remain unanswered. Specifically, many studies use students to simulate malingering; however, it is unclear whether this is an appropriate analog group. In addition, many studies have focused on the development of cognitive measures designed to detect malingering, rather than pursuing whether current neuropsychological measures are effective. Results of the present investigation suggest that student malingerers are significantly more difficult to detect than non-neurological patients instructed to malinger. The findings also provide further support for the recent evidence that standard neuropsychological measures are useful in detecting malingering.
尽管研究检测诈病方法的研究大量涌现,但仍有一些重要问题未得到解答。具体而言,许多研究使用学生来模拟诈病;然而,尚不清楚这是否是一个合适的模拟群体。此外,许多研究专注于开发旨在检测诈病的认知测量方法,而不是探究当前的神经心理学测量方法是否有效。本研究的结果表明,与被指示诈病的非神经科患者相比,学生诈病者更难被检测出来。这些发现也为最近的证据提供了进一步支持,即标准的神经心理学测量方法在检测诈病方面是有用的。
