The ability of respondents to underreport successfully on substance abuse and validity scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A; Butcher et al., 1992) was evaluated. Incarcerated teens (67 substance abusing, 59 non-substance abusing) completed the MMPI-A twice: once under standard instructions (SI) and once under instructions to fake good (FG). Under SI, substance scales correctly classified about 60% to 85% of adolescents. Under FG, substance- and non-substance-abusing juveniles produced lower scores on substance scales. However, the Lie Scale (L) was able to detect more than 75% of deceptive profiles and about 77% of honest profiles. When scale L and the best substance scale were used in combination, only about 18% of faking substance abusers were not identified as either substance abusers or as underreporting. For feigning substance abusers, only about 10% of substance abusers were detected, with about 72% being categorized as faking and needing further assessment.
研究评估了被试在明尼苏达多相人格问卷青少年版(MMPI-A;Butcher等人,1992)的药物滥用及效度量表上成功少报情况的能力。被监禁的青少年(67名药物滥用者,59名非药物滥用者)完成了两次MMPI-A测试:一次按照标准指导语(SI)进行,一次按照假装良好指导语(FG)进行。在标准指导语下,药物滥用量表能正确分类约60%至85%的青少年。在假装良好指导语下,药物滥用和非药物滥用的青少年在药物滥用量表上得分更低。然而,说谎量表(L)能够检测出超过75%的欺骗性剖析图和约77%的诚实剖析图。当结合使用量表L和最佳药物滥用量表时,只有约18%假装药物滥用者未被识别为药物滥用者或少报者。对于假装药物滥用者,仅检测出约10%的药物滥用者,约72%被归类为假装,需要进一步评估。
