Four studies created malingering and response bias scales for a new test battery, the Attachment and Clinical Issues Questionnaire (ACIQ). In the first calibration study, a new approach to identifying fake good and fake bad respondents was outlined. In Study 2, this scale was cross validated in a within-subjects design that also found only weak correlations between the scales of the ACIQ and measures of social desirability. The third study developed a method violator scale (one who responds randomly to the content of the scales due to carelessness, low IQ, etc.). It was tested by Monte Carlo and empirical studies. The fourth study combined the two cross validation studies to offer clear cutoffs for the practitioner. These studies successfully led to the creation of malingering and response bias scales for the ACIQ and also introduced new methods that could be adapted to other instruments.
四项研究为新的测试组合——依恋与临床问题问卷(ACIQ)创建了诈病和反应偏差量表。在第一项校准研究中,概述了一种识别伪装良好和伪装不良受访者的新方法。在研究2中,该量表在受试者内设计中进行了交叉验证,该设计还发现ACIQ量表与社会赞许性测量之间只有微弱的相关性。第三项研究开发了一种方法违规者量表(由于粗心、低智商等原因对量表内容随机作答的人)。它通过蒙特卡洛模拟和实证研究进行了测试。第四项研究将两项交叉验证研究结合起来,为从业者提供了明确的临界值。这些研究成功地为ACIQ创建了诈病和反应偏差量表,还引入了可适用于其他工具的新方法。
