Detection of malingering on Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices: A cross‐validation

Abstract

A formula for detecting faked Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices profiles was cross-validated on 46 experimental malingerers and 381 people from the standardization sample. The formula yielded a cross-validated 26% false-negative rate and a 5% false-positive rate.

Feigned intellectual deficits on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Revised

“…Attempts have also been made to provide a measure of simulated intellectual impairment. Gudjonsson and Shackleton (1986) and more recently McKinzey, Podd, Krehbiel, and Raven (1999) have applied a formula for identifying feigned intellectual deficits on the Ravens Progressive Matrices (Raven, 1958).…”

Detection of children's malingering on Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices

“…The Raven answers were applied to the formula (2A + B)-(D + 2E), where A, B, D and E refer to the number of correct responses in each of the Raven subsets (Gudjonsson & Shackleton, 1986;McKinzey et al, 1999). The result of the formula is termed the 'rate of decay', and is compared to the rate of decay by total score cut-offs (see McKinzey et al, 1999, for details).…”

“…The formula has the distinct advantage of being usable on protocols given in the past, as it requires no special administration procedures. The formula was cross-validated (McKinzey, Podd, Krehbiel, & Raven, 1999) on 46 experimental malingerers and 381 people from the adult standardization sample (J. Raven, J. C. Raven, & Court, 2000). The formula yielded a cross-validated 26% false negative rate and a 5% false positive rate.…”

¿Mentira, simulación o engaño? una perspectiva desde la adolescencia = Lying, malingering or deception? a perspective from adolescente

“…En población adolescente, los estudios de detección de la simulación han utilizado la versión MMPI-A (Butcher, Williams, Graham et al, 1992;Faust, Hart & Guilmette, 1988), y también se han identifado conductas de fingimiento en pruebas de inteligencia (McKinzey, Podd, Krehbiel et al, 1999;McKinzey, Prieler & Raven, 2003).…”
