Questionnaire-based symptom validity tests (SVTs) are an indispensable diagnostic tool for evaluating the credibility of patients' claimed symptomatology, both in forensic and in clinical assessment contexts. In 2019, the comprehensive professional manual of a new SVT, the Self-Report Symptom Inventory (SRSI), was published in German. Its English-language version was first tested in the UK. This experimental analogue study investigated 20 adults simulating minor head injury symptoms and 21 honestly responding participants. The effect sizes of differences between the two groups were large, with the simulating group endorsing a higher number of pseudosymptoms, both on the SRSI and the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology, and scoring lower on the Reliable Digit Span than the control group. The results are similar to those obtained in previous research of different SRSI language versions, supporting the effort to validate the English-language SRSI version.
基于问卷的症状效度测试（SVTs）是评估患者所声称症状可信度的不可或缺的诊断工具，无论是在法医还是临床评估环境中。2019 年，一种新的 SVT，即自我报告症状量表（SRSI）的全面专业手册以德文出版。其英文版首先在英国进行了测试。这项实验性模拟研究调查了 20 名模拟轻微头部损伤症状的成年人和 21 名诚实作答的参与者。两组之间的差异效应大小很大，模拟组在 SRSI 和结构伪装症状清单上都认可了更多的虚假症状，并且在可靠数字跨度测试上的得分低于对照组。研究结果与之前不同 SRSI 语言版本的研究结果相似，支持对英语版 SRSI 进行验证的努力。
