“…Three distinct but correlated symptom domains have been identified as likely to be overreported: psychopathology (e.g., symptoms of schizophrenia or posttraumatic stress disorder), cognitive symptoms (e.g., memory problems), and somatic complaints 7 (e.g., severe headaches, back pain). In the evaluation of neuropsychological problems using performance-based neurocognitive testing, individuals may demonstrate poor effort if they perform below their true abilities on cognitive tasks (see several excellent reviews: Boone, 2007;Hall & Poirier, 2001;Larrabee, 2007;Morgan & Sweet, 2009). A variety of embedded (within existing tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2 [MMPI-2] or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition) and standalone measures have been created for the detection of response bias in the assessment of psychopathology, neurocognitive dysfunction, and to a lesser degree, somatic complaints (see Table 1 for examples).…”

In the near-100 years of their existence, response bias indicators have undergone significant advancements in design, as have efforts at examining their validity. However, opportunities remain for greater sophistication in the development and study of these indicators. We discuss important definitional issues pertaining to response bias before turning to a review of common methods used in this area of research followed by discussion of innovations that could further advance response bias investigation. Specifically, we focus on considerations for conducting research on the need for, evaluation, and design of response bias indicators. We review established and innovative research approaches and how they can be used to further this line of work. Throughout, we identify areas in need of additional study as we work to advance knowledge about the impact of invalid responding and the utility of the indicators available to detect it.

“…Psychoactive substance use has become one of the major public health issues with its pervasive prevalence widespread across all categories of society (1,2). According to the global addiction 2017 report, approximately 1 in 5 to 1 in 20 individuals aged 15 years reported using frequent consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs daily in the past month (3). Substance-related problems also cause significant economic impacts due to issues such as lost productivity and lives and healthcare costs (4).…”

BackgroundSubstance use is associated with high rates of psychiatric symptoms including psychotic symptoms. Despite the severity of the problem, there are intervention gaps in Ethiopia. To combat this, relevant evidence is required to raise the awareness of service providers. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychotic symptoms and its associated factors among the youth population who uses psychoactive substances in the Central Gondar Zone, Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the youth population in the Central Gondar zone, Northwest Ethiopia, from 01 January to 30 March 2021. A multistage sampling technique was used to recruit the study participants. All data were collected using questionnaires assessing socio-demographic; family-related variables; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale; Multidimensional Scale Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-24). The data were analyzed using the STATA 14 statistical program.ResultsA total of 372 young people who used psychoactive substances (79.57%, 53.49%, 34.14%, and 16.13% were consuming alcohol, Khat, tobacco/cigarette products, and other substances such as shisha, inhalants, and drugs, respectively) were included in the study. The prevalence of psychotic symptoms was 24.2% with a 95% CI: 20.1, 28.8. Being married [AOR = 1.87 95% CI: 1.06, 3.48], recent loss of loved ones [AOR = 1.97 95% CI: 1.10, 3.18], low perceived social support [AOR = 1.61 95% CI: 1.11, 3.02], and severe psychological distress [AOR = 3.23 95% CI; 1.64, 6.54] were the factors associated with psychotic symptoms among young people with psychoactive substances use at a p-value of < 0.05.ConclusionPsychotic symptoms related to psychoactive substances among the youth population in Northwest Ethiopia were high. Thus, it is better to give a special attention to the youth population with low social support and existing psychological distress concurrent with psychoactive substance use.

“…Traditionally, it was assumed that malingerers were naive to testing because they had not sought or been provided with information regarding psychological disorders or testing (Rogers, 1997). This notion has now been largely discounted (e.g., Elhai, Gold, Sellers, & Dorfman, 2001;Hall & Poirier, 2001). For example, Wetter and Corrigan (1995) found that nearly 50% of attorneys believe that clients should be informed about validity scales prior to psychological testing.…”

“…Unfortunately, such behaviors may not be uncommon. Hall and Poirier (2001) reported that all three types of malingering might be found during PTSD evaluations. In addition, Resnick cited a study in which 40% of those considered totally disabled (resultant from PTSD) who were receiving benefits showed no indication of actual disability.…”
