title: Faking and its detection on the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory.
abstract: This paper describes an index for the detection of fakers on the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory. Initially, the index is constructed and validated using an experimental paradigm. Subsequently, cut-off scores are developed based on a consideration of distributions of the index scores for the experimental groups (n = 101), for general psychiatric patients (n = 64), and for the general adult normative population (n = 564).
