Though it has been the most extensively used instrument for forensic evaluation, the MMPI-2 is being gradually replaced by the MMPI-2-RF version, requiring evidence research to support it. A malingering design was implemented to assess the efficacy of the overreporting validity scales in discriminating between a group of malingerers and the general and clinical populations in a forensic context. Of a total of 878 subjects, 309 were from the general population, 308 from the clinical population, and 261 were instructed to malinger a psychological injury. The results showed that malingerers scored significantly higher than the clinical and general population on the F-r, Fp-r, FBS-r, Fs and RBS scales. As for the classification of cases, the F-r, Fp-r, FBS-r, Fs, and RBS scales classified correctly and significantly between malingerers and honest respondents from the general population, and the F-r and Fp-r scales between malingerers and clinical population. Additionally, the results showed F-r incremental validity over Fp-r, and vice versa. Thus, F-r and Fp-r scales are independent and may be accumulated to detect malingering. Forensic practical implications from the results were derived and discussed.

对比MMPI-2-RF高估量表在恶意识别中的功效

尽管它已成为法医评估中使用最广泛的工具,但MMPI-2逐渐被MMPI-2-RF版本所取代,需要证据研究来支持它。实施了恶意攻击设计,以评估在司法鉴定情况下过度报告的有效性量表在区分一群恶意攻击者与一般人群和临床人群之间的功效。在878名受试者中,有309名来自普通人群,308名来自临床人群,其中261名被指示患上心理伤害。结果表明,在Fr,Fp-r,FBS-r,Fs和RBS量表上,恶意人群得分明显高于临床人群和普通人群。至于案件的分类,Fr,Fp-r,FBS-r,Fs,和RBS量表在犯罪人群和诚实人群之间进行了正确,显着的分类,而Fr和Fp-r规模在犯罪人群和临床人群之间。此外,结果表明Fr的有效性高于Fp-r,反之亦然。因此,Fr和Fp-r量表是独立的,可以累加以检测恶意。从结果得出的法证实际意义得到了讨论。
