Impression Management in the Psychiatric Interview: Quality, Style, and Individual Differences

Sherman, Mark; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 6, 867-871, Dec 75

Patients defined as sick presenters behaved in a significantly more pathological manner during an interview preceded by "fake sick" instructions than they did under "fake healthy" instructions.
