abstract="The clinical assessment of malingering requires the systematic application of empirically validated detection strategies. Prior investigations of the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 have not fully addressed whether individual scales represent well-defined dimensions. The first phase of this study reexamined the original SIRS normative sample via maximum-likelihood factor analysis with promax rotation and subjected the resulting two-factor model to confirmatory factor analysis. The second phase was a cross-validation of the two-factor model on combined data from correctional-mental health and forensic settings. With one modification, the two-factor model was confirmed. The two dimensions (Spurious Presentation and Plausible Presentation) are theoretically relevant to the assessment of malingering.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
