Abstract

The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991) represents an important development in the assessment of psychopathology. We examined the usefulness of the Negative Impression (NIM) scale to detect naive (undergraduates with minimal preparation) and sophisticated (psychology graduate students with 1 week preparation) subjects simulating specific disorders. We found that the NIM cutting score (> 8) was highly effective with feigned schizophrenia, marginally effective with feigned depression, and ineffective with feigned generalized anxiety disorder. Sophistication did not appear to be relevant to successful feigning, although it did allow graduate students to achieve higher clinical elevations in simulating depression.

摘要

人格评估问卷（PAI；莫雷，1991）代表了心理病理学评估方面的一项重要进展。我们检验了负面印象（NIM）量表在检测模拟特定障碍的新手（准备极少的本科生）和老手（有1周准备时间的心理学研究生）受试者方面的效用。我们发现，NIM划界分数（>8）对伪装精神分裂症非常有效，对伪装抑郁症效果一般，对伪装广泛性焦虑障碍则无效。老练程度似乎与成功伪装无关，不过老练程度确实使研究生在模拟抑郁症时能获得更高的临床得分。
