Efficiency of a Strategy for Detecting Back Random Responding on the Personality Assessment Inventory.

Abstract: The efficiency of a new strategy to identify back random responding (BRR) on the Personality Assessment Inventory (L. C. Morey, 1991) was studied using random manipulations of item responses from community (904 adult nonpatients) and clinical (1,079 adult patients) respondents. The strategy involved a comparison of short-form and full-instrument T scores on 2 scales found to be particularly sensitive to BRR in a recent study. This strategy was found to be reasonably sensitive and specific to even relatively lo… Show more

“…Although participants who respond randomly to questionnaires presumably do so across most or all measures, it appears that they provided such responses more on one of these measures (i.e., the PAI or PPI/PPI-R, but not both). In fact, there is reason to be concerned that the level of carelessness may not even be consistent within one test, as evidenced by the development of various types of "back random responding" scales, such as the MMPI-2 F back [F(b)] scale (see MMPI-2, Butcher et al, 1989; see also Morey & Hopwood, 2004). Further, fatigue effects could have adversely affected the validity of profiles in Sample 2; given that the PAI and PPI-R were counter-balanced; however, we were unable to investigate this possibility.…”

“…Levels of mental health symptoms were assessed with a shortened version of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey 2007), which included four scales: depression (DEP), anxiety (ANX), borderline features (BPD), and stress (STR). Item responses ranged from 1 = “False, not at all true” to 4 = “Very true.” These scales use T-scores, which are normed on a sample of average adults; the ranges for each scale were 36T–90T for depression (24 items, α = .85), 34T–89T for anxiety (24 items, α = .89), 36T–94T for borderline features (24 items, α = .88), and 37T–91T for stress (8 items, α = .74).…”

“…Items selected for consideration were a mix of self-report and clinician-rated items derived from the Personality Assessment Inventory-Borderline Personality Disorder Identity Scale (PAI-BOR; Morey, 1991), the Clarity subscale from the Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP; Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureño, & Villaseñor, 1988), Kobak's Attachment Q-sets (Kobak, 1989), and our own clinician assessment of mentalization.…”
