Atten Defic Hyperact Disord. 2009 May;1(1):47-53. doi: 10.1007/s12402-009-0007-1. Epub 2009 Apr 24.
The aim of the present study was to determine whether malingering of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be detected using a self-report rating scale. A sample of 78 university students was allocated to three different conditions. The conditions were (a) a control group, (b) a naïve simulation group and (c) a coached simulation group. Furthermore, 12 adult students with a diagnosed ADHD participated in the present study. Participants were administered the Brown Attention Deficit Disorder Scale for Adults. While the control group and the patient group were asked to complete the scale with accuracy, the simulation groups were requested to feign an ADHD. Statistical analysis revealed that both simulation groups were able to successfully feign an ADHD. The results indicate that self-report rating measures are not sensitive enough to allow the detection of feigned ADHD.
本研究的目的是确定是否可以使用自我报告评定量表来检测成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的诈病情况。78名大学生被分配到三种不同的条件组。这些条件组分别是：（a）对照组，（b）单纯模拟组和（c）指导模拟组。此外，12名被诊断患有ADHD的成年学生参与了本研究。参与者接受了《布朗成人注意力缺陷障碍量表》的测试。对照组和患者组被要求准确完成量表，而模拟组则被要求假装患有ADHD。统计分析表明，两个模拟组都能够成功假装患有ADHD。结果表明，自我报告评定方法不够敏感，无法检测出假装的ADHD。
