“…In connection with the simulation criteria, the SIMS instrument ratified the proportional professional clinical judgment in 66.67–80% of the cases. These results coincide with those presented by López-Miquel and Pujol-Robinat [ 34 ], in whose research it was ratified in 69% of the cases, which shows that SIMS is reliable to detect simulation.…”

In our study, significant results were shown in the global dimension of SIMS in fibromyalgia, which contradicts what was stated by Capilla-Ramírez et al [13], because they did not find significant discriminant scores between patients with and without suspected simulation.…”

“…In their study, there seems to have been a pattern of responses of somatic symptoms that was repeated in simulators. According to López-Miquel and Pujol-Robinat [ 34 ], this scale is one with the greatest discriminatory power between simulator and non-simulator conditions.…”

Malingering consists of the production of false physical or psychological symptoms motivated by external incentives that are normally reproduced in pathologies that are not related to organic origin or there are no laboratory tests for their diagnosis, as is the case of mixed anxiety–depressive disorder and fibromyalgia syndrome. The objective of this research consisted of comparing the profile of simulative patients with fibromyalgia and mixed anxiety–depressive disorder to obtain a profile and facilitate its detection in initial interviews. The research was carried out with 78 patients (42 patients with fibromyalgia and 36 patients with mixed anxiety–depressive disorder) who were administered the professional's structured clinical judgment, the Beck Depression Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Questionnaire, and the Structured Symptom Simulation Inventory. The main obtained results show that the simulation classification proposed by the questionnaire is in the range of 66.67–80% with regard to coinciding with the judgment of experts, and people with suspicion of simulation of both groups of patients present similar characteristics. The simulators thus present incongruous responses in relation to the questionnaires, and high levels of trait anxiety, state, and depression predict the simulation of symptoms.

“…Given the complexity of the malingering assessment process, it is critical for an examiner to explore all possible explanations for patient behaviors to avoid incorrectly classifying and potentially stigmatizing a patient as a malingerer [ 87 ]. The conceptualization of malingering in diagnostic tools such as the DSM-5 can be criticized for having poor reliability and validity [ 88 , 89 ].…”

Malingering of Psychotic Symptoms in Psychiatric Settings: Theoretical Aspects and Clinical Considerations

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Malingering is the intentional production of false or grossly exaggerated physical or psychological symptoms motivated by external incentives. Although the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) does not list malingering in its diagnostic section and therefore does not identify it as a formal mental disorder, malingering and verified mental illness commonly coexist. Some subtypes of feigning behaviors, such as partial or pure malingering, dissimulation, and false imputation, can be suspected when patients have marked discrepancies between reported stressors and objective findings. The article discusses these three theoretical concepts with their possible clinical aspects, illustrating each phenomenon by clinical case with self-reported and/or observed psychotic symptoms. We summarized relevant findings and provided a review of clinical considerations that physicians can use to aid in the evaluation of psychotic symptoms in the context of those three concepts.

“…Spanish adaptations of a variety of international validity tests are available (MMPI-2, MMPI-A, MMPI-2-RF, Personality Assessment Inventory [PAI, PAI-A], SIMS, Test of Memory Malingering [TOMM]), and continue to be used in research studies in Spain (e.g., López-Miquel & Pujol-Robinat, 2020;Vilar-López et al, 2021). The Spanish adaptation of the MMPI-A-RF has recently been published, and the MMPI-3 publication is planned for 2023.…”

Symptom and Performance Validity Assessment in European Countries: an Update

In 2013, a special issue of the Spanish journal Clínica y Salud published a review on symptom and performance validity assessment in European countries (Merten et al. in Clínica y Salud, 24(3), 129-138, 2013). At that time, developments were judged to be in their infancy in many countries, with major publication activities stemming from only four countries: Spain, The Netherlands, Great Britain, and Germany. As an introduction to a special issue of Psychological Injury and Law, this is an updated report of developments during the last 10 years. In that period of time, research activities have reached a level where it is difficult to follow all developments; some validity measures were newly developed, others were adapted for European languages, and validity assessment has found a much stronger place in real-world evaluation contexts. Next to an update from the four nations mentioned above, reports are now given from Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, too.
