- Title
The SIRS as a Measure of Malingering: A Validation Study with a Correctional Sample.
- Authors
Rogers, Richard; Gillis, Roy; Bagby, R. Michael
- Abstract
A simulation design was used to test the validity of the SIRS as a structured interview for the assessment of malingering. A correctional sample (25 simulators and 26 controls) was compared to previous validation research (Rogers et al., 1989) which had employed clinical and community samples. Results indicated that six of the 13 SIRS scales, as well as overall item endorsement, differed consistently between honest and simulating/malingering conditions across correctional, clinical, and community settings. In addition, the suggestion that sociopaths may be more effective malingerers was not supported by the SIRS data.
