“…Although there are theoretical principles and various methods to assess malingering, there is a two-fold ''built-in'' difficulty in this area. Rogers [1984b] observed that (1) there are no psychological measures which are not fakeable, and (2) frequently there is no way to verify cases of malingering.…”

Neurobehavioral assessment is frequently made in a forensic context. The cognitive assessment may be biased due to an intentional manipulation of data by the patient motivated by attainment of compensation, that is, malingering. Although malingering is highly relevant in behavioral toxicology, the issue and its assessment are underrepresented in the literature. A routine assessment of malingering is important to reduce false‐positive and false‐negative errors in assessment, thereby establishing the credibility and validity of behavioral assessment. In the long run, the routine inclusion of malingering measurements might reduce claims and encourage employers to be more cooperative in behavioral toxicology studies. Guidelines for malingering assessment and research, inferred from the clinical and research literature, are discussed. Sensitivity to the problematic issues involved in assessing malingering behavior is an important step toward malingering detection in the clinical setting and to the establishment of assessment methods that are less confounded by these issues.

“…Especially in states which have a death penalty, the motivation to feign amnesia would be considerable. Indeed, Rogers and Cavanaugh (1983), in an article on malingering, suggested that such behavior might be best conceptualized in terms of "coping strategies, good judgment, and survival" (p. 446). Given the potential for deception (Resnick, 1984), it is of obvious importance that an examining clinician be able to distinguish between genuine and feined amnesia.…”

“…For example, Parwatiker, Holcomb, and Menninger ( 1985) discovered that certain historical information reliably distinguished between confessed murderers and those who were convicted but claimed amnesia. Among the most reliable distinguishing variables were drug and alcohol intoxication and elevations on MMPI scales Hs, Hy, and D (see Rogers, 1984 for a review of studies examining the usefulness of the MMPI in detecting malingering). Such results are consistent with an interpretation that these individuals had a genuine hysterical or dissociatively based amnesia.…”

“…In many cases, such claims are relevant either to the mens rea element of the crime or to details of the actual crime act (actus reus) and must be thoroughly investigated. While no technique is of sufficient validity, we recommend a complete evaluation, using not only mental status data, but also carefully obtained third party reports, social and developmental histories, neuropsychological examinations, and sodium amytal and polygraphic interviews (see Resnick, 1984;and Rogers, 1984 for discussions of interview techniques and evaluation procedures).…”

RESUMENComo en cualquier etapa evolutiva, el comportamiento adolescente está determinado por factores físicos, psicológicos y sociales. Los centros educativos se encuentran atravesando un periodo de adaptación ante las nuevas formas de interacción que se producen en la relación del estudiante con su entorno. En este trabajo se describe la conducta de simulación o fingimiento durante la adolescencia. La propuesta de esta investigación es analizar el comportamiento de simulación como resultado de las necesidades de supervivencia del menor en la sociedad en la que vive. A partir de una muestra de estudiantes de 4º de la E.S.O. se realiza un proceso de evaluación mediante dos instrumentos: el Cuestionario de Personalidad para Adolescentes 16PF-APQ (Schuerger, 2005) y el Cuestionario autoaplicado de síntomas CAS. Se realiza una valoración de la fiabilidad y validez del instrumento piloto C.A.S., revelándose como un instrumento útil para determinar el nivel de sinceridad de la información que proporciona un adolescente sobre su estado psicológico. Los resultados indican que el grupo de simuladores obtienen una puntuación mayor en todas las escalas del C.A.S. Por otro lado, este grupo de estudiantes se caracteriza por remitir una excesiva presencia de síntomas psicológicos negativos cuyo conocimiento resulta muy familiar por personas no expertas en la materia. Asimismo, se plantea la relación entre el comportamiento de simulación y alteraciones en la personalidad del adolescente. A partir de todo ello se reflexiona sobre el concepto de simulación.
