The development of more sophisticated performance validity measures is important due to concerns with coaching as well providing clinicians a greater variety options when assessing validity. Examinees noncredible may find it difficult elude detection by PVTs derived from arithmetical summation or logistic regression. present study evaluated the classification accuracy several executive functioning (EF) variables both individually and combined into variables. current simple mathematic...
Introduction: This study evaluated symptom endorsement patterns in participants at various stratified performance levels on the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM). It was hypothesized that lowest stratum (chance and below) would have most pathological (i.e., elevated item endorsement) responding Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) validity clinical scales. primarily a replication previous work with emphasis PAI scales consideration varying degrees TOMM Trial 2.Methods: Participants were...
Objective: This study is a cross-validation of the Cognitive Bias Scale (CBS) from Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), ten-item scale designed to assess symptom endorsement associated with performance validity test failure in neuropsychological samples. The utilized mixed sample consecutively referred patients at large academic medical center Midwest. Participants and Methods: were 332 who completed embedded free-standing tests (PVTs) PAI. Pass fail groups created based on PVT evaluate...
Objective: This exploratory study examined the classification accuracy of three derived scales aimed at detecting cognitive response bias in neuropsychological samples. The are composed existing from Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI). A mixed clinical sample consecutive outpatients referred for assessment a large Midwestern academic medical center was utilized. Participants and Methods: included 332 patients who completed study's embedded free-standing performance validity tests (PVTs)...
Abstract Background Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) often places high physical and mental burden on research participants compared with retrospective self-reports. The could result in noncompliance the EMA sampling scheme protocol. It has been a concern that certain types of be more likely to have low compliance, such as those who severe hearing loss poor speech recognition performance, are employed, not familiar technologies used implement (e.g., smartphones), poorer cognitive...
Background: The Healthy Obsession Model posits that committed weight controllers develop preoccupations with the planning and execution of target behaviors to reach healthy goals. We expected successful controllers, more so than unsuccessful would report elaborate definitions their obsessions, negative reactions lapses, constructive responses high-risk situations. also find differential sources commitment between losers gainers, including a greater emphasis on emotional experiential...
Background/Objective: The present research tested the clinical validity of a simple self-report measure, Clinical Assessment Depression (CAD), as screening tool to identify potentially disruptive participants in immersion treatment for adolescent obesity. Methods: 257 overweight attendees at two Wellspring Camps (cognitive-behavior therapy treatment) were included (91% females; M age = 15.1; pretreatment BMI 35.0; % 77.6). Campers completed CADs, Binge Scales, 24-hour dietary recalls, and...

The purpose study to examine the potential influence psychotropic medications on treatment outcomes in real-world setting. Methods: This examines prescription rates and process 642 adolescents ten different cognitive behavioral therapeutic weight-loss camps United States Kingdom. Results: US participants...
