This study describes the development of a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) scale designed to detect negative response bias in forensic neuropsychological or disability assessment settings. The Response Bias Scale (RBS) consists of 28 MMPI-2 items that discriminated between persons who passed or failed the Word Memory Test (WMT), Computerized Assessment of Response Bias (CARB), and/or Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) in a sample of 1,212 nonhead-injury disability claimants. Incremental validity of the RBS was evaluated by comparing its ability to detect poor performance on four separate symptom validity tests with that of the F and F(P) scales and the Fake Bad Scale (FBS). The RBS consistently outperformed F, F(P), and FBS. Study results suggest that the RBS may be a useful addition to existing MMPI-2 validity scales and indices in detecting symptom complaints predominantly associated with cognitive response bias and overreporting in forensic neuropsychological and disability assessment settings.
本研究描述了一种明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI-2）量表的开发，该量表旨在检测法医神经心理学或残疾评估环境中的负面反应偏差。反应偏差量表（RBS）由28个MMPI-2项目组成，这些项目在1212名非头部受伤残疾索赔人的样本中，区分了通过或未通过词语记忆测试（WMT）、反应偏差计算机评估（CARB）和/或记忆伪装测试（TOMM）的人。通过比较RBS与F量表、F(P)量表和假坏量表（FBS）在四个单独的症状效度测试中检测不良表现的能力，评估了RBS的增量效度。RBS始终优于F量表、F(P)量表和FBS。研究结果表明，在法医神经心理学和残疾评估环境中，RBS可能是现有MMPI-2效度量表和指标的有益补充，可用于检测主要与认知反应偏差和过度报告相关的症状主诉。
