“…Without other simulation conditions (e.g., feigned learning disorders) and a general clinical sample, research can only determine general feigning (see Merten & Rogers, 2017). To address this issue, Robinson and Rogers (2018) developed and validated a specific ADHD feigning scale for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2 Restructured Form, specifically the ADHD Dissimulation (ADHD-Ds) scale.…”

“…The rigor for simulation designs include several methodological considerations. For a realistic scenario (Rogers & Cruise, 1998), the current scenario was adapted from Sollman et al (2010) and Robinson and Rogers (2018). Undergraduate feigners can easily identify with the challenges of coursework and the understandable motivation to perform better with less effort as a result of ADHD medication.…”

Embedded WAIS-IV Detection Strategies and Feigned Cognitive Impairment: An Investigation of Malingered ADHD

Malingered attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be strongly motivated on college campuses by recreational use of ADHD medications and to obtain unwarranted academic accommodations. Rather than rely on face-valid (easily faked) ADHD checklists, the study focused on the more complex Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth edition (WAIS-IV; Wechsler, 2008). However, the current literature has not yet investigated well-defined detection strategies for feigned WAIS-IV presentations. Using aprioristic standards, four different detection strategies from the feigning literature were adapted to certain WAIS-IV subscales. For example, significantly below-chance performance was applied to visual puzzles. Using a between-subjects simulation design, 74 undergraduate simulators were compared with archival data on 73 outpatients diagnosed with ADHD at a university psychology clinic. Very large effect sizes (Cohen’s ds from 1.66 to 1.90) differentiated between genuine and feigned ADHD. Two strategies (significantly below-chance performance and floor effect) showed strong promise if cross-validated for other feigning presentations. The study concluded with clinical considerations and future avenues for research.

“…Obviously, this approach is overly inclusive in identifying persons with a general social desirability that may be completely unrelated to their death‐penalty views. As a parallel to false death‐penalty stereotypes, Robinson and Rogers () sought to distinguish those feigning ADHD from other clinical presentations. By working on ADHD false stereotypes, this approach proved successful.…”

Capital juror questionnaires in death‐penalty cases: A study of attitudes, denials, and deceptions

The Sixth Amendment right to an “impartial jury” should guarantee fundamental fairness that in capital cases may literally be a matter of life and death. For ecological validity, the current study focuses on capital jury questionnaires (CJQs) employed in actual death‐penalty cases. Study I examined 248 undergraduates and their responses to death‐penalty relevant questions. As an MTurk investigation, Study II consisted of 259 community members potentially eligible for capital trial jury trials. Misrepresentations were operationalized as either denials (concealing their true views) or outright deceptions (dissembling the opposite viewpoint). Both studies found that CJQ items were very susceptible to both types of misrepresentation, irrespective of support‐life or support‐death views. Nearly 30% of undergraduates openly acknowledged that they would misrepresent close to half their CJQ responses. Overall, community members were much more willing to engage in denials and outright deceptions. The discussion focuses on how CJQs could be improved to promote candor about death‐penalty views.

“…At a minimum, the following types of psychological testing should be conducted: A personality inventory and at least two measures of performance/symptom validity (e.g., one embedded and one standalone). This minimum requirement aligns with research demonstrating the added value of both symptom validity measures and personality inventories in the assessment of ADHD (Marshall et al, 2016;Robinson and Rogers, 2018). With this noted, Table 1 provides an example of appropriate psychological testing for the assessment of adult ADHD.…”

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that interfere with social, occupational, or academic functioning. Clinical communities differ regarding whether or not formal psychological or neuropsychological assessment is necessary for diagnosing ADHD. A comprehensive assessment model that emphasizes differential clinical diagnosis is recommended. This model provides practice guidelines that ensure accurate diagnosis when faced with potential complicating factors, such as symptom overlap, substance abuse, and symptom feigning.
