Overreporting of Closed-Head Injury Symptoms on the MMPI-2.
Berry, David T. R.; And Others
Psychological Assessment, v7 n4 p517-23 Dec 1995
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) validity scales were compared for 20 nonclinical participants, 18 subjects asked to fake injury, 18 head injury patients not seeking compensation, and 30 compensation-seeking head injury patients. Results suggest that MMPI-2 overreporting scales are sensitive to complaint fabrication and possibly to symptom exaggeration. (SLD)
