Abstract | Evaluated alcohol-dependent inpatients and nonalcoholic controls on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) twice: once under instructions to answer honestly, and once under dissimulation instructions. Showed 80 percent predictability of alcoholism under honest conditions, and significantly more benign profiles in the dissimulation condition. Found the Positive Malingering and Social Desirability dissimulation scales most effective at detecting deceptive profiles. (Author/KS) |
