“…Um dos testes utilizados para a avaliação da personalidade, considerado favorável para o uso privativo do psicólogo, no Brasil, em processos de avaliação psicológica, é o teste de Rorschach. Desde a publicação desse teste, o instrumento tem sido aperfeiçoado, mesmo mantendo em seu eixo estruturante os fundamentos norteadores de seu criador (Exner Jr, & Sendín, 1999;Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2017 O teste de Rorschach é um dos instrumentos que tem se destacado por ser eficaz no estudo de avaliação da personalidade e na identificação de psicopatologias (Nørbech, Fodstad, Kuisma, Lunde, & Hartmann, 2016;Nørbech, Grønnerød, & Hartmann, 2016 (Gacono, Kivisto, Smith, & Cunliffe, 2016;Meyer et al, 2017;Nørbech, Fodstad, et al, 2016;Weiner & Greene, 2017).…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura de publicações que investigam a personalidade do autor de violência sexual por meio do teste de Rorschach. Realizou-se uma busca bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed, Psycnet, Web of Science, PePSIC e SciELO, com descritores: “Sex Offender”, “Pedophile”, “Sex Offenses”, “Sexual Molester”, “Sexual Violence” e “Rapist”, combinados com Rorschach. A busca foi limitada aos artigos publicados nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, dos últimos quinze anos, considerando os Sistemas Compreensivo e de Avaliação por Performance no Rorschach, com autores de violência do sexo masculino, e tendo como vítimas crianças e adolescentes. Ao total foram encontrados nove artigos, e a análise apontou que os AVSs podem ter comprometimento nos aspectos cognitivos, afetivos, na autopercepção e na tendência a responder de modo impulsivo. Tais achados podem colaborar na criação de estratégias de intervenção e tratamento para esse público. Futuros estudos, que considerem diferentes bases de dados e descritores, poderão comparar os resultados encontrados, enriquecendo o processo de investigação nesta área.

“…Both Norwegian-language studies investigated symptom minimization using the L and K scales in a simulation design. These studies typically generated small to moderate effect sizes, with the exception of one effect size for the L scale (of eight generated), which had a very large effect when differentiating prison inmates instructed to minimize psychopathology from community members responding honestly ( d = 1.74; Nørbech et al, 2016). Consistent with research on the English-language MMPI-2 (Aparcero et al, 2021), the scales in both studies were less effective when the minimizing group was coached on the nature of the test and its detection strategies.…”

Objective: This systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of translated versions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) and the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) in detecting response distortion (i.e., symptom exaggeration and minimization), a central concern in forensic assessment. Hypotheses: We hypothesized that translated versions of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF would generate significantly weaker effect sizes in detecting response distortion than those observed with English-language studies. Method: We identified 26 studies, representing seven language translations of the MMPI-2 (k = 20) and two of the MMPI-2-RF (k = 6). We calculated effect sizes (Cohen’s ds) based on the mean score difference between honest and nongenuine responders for each study on each symptom exaggeration (e.g., F/F-r, Fp/Fp-r) and minimization (e.g., L/L-r, K/K-r) scale examined, along with mean effect size estimates (Hedges’ g) for the Spanish and Italian translations (no other translation had more than two published studies). Results: Spanish-language studies generally produced large (d ≥ 1.25) to very large (d ≥ 1.75) effect sizes when detecting both symptom exaggeration and minimization. Italian-language studies generally produced small to moderate effect sizes when detecting symptom exaggeration and predominately moderate (d ≤ 1.25) effect sizes when detecting minimization. Significant variability within and across scales was observed in both Spanish-language and Italian-language studies. Most studies utilizing a translated version of the MMPI-2 other than Spanish or Italian produced very large (d ≥ 1.75) effect sizes when detecting symptom exaggeration and weaker (d ≤ 1.00) effect sizes when detecting minimization. Conclusions: This systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis demonstrated effect sizes that overlapped with those observed in English-language studies. Although clearly preliminary, given the limited published research to date, these data suggest that the MMPI instruments retain some utility in detecting response distortion when translated.

“…Thus, before analyzing the R-PAS results, we looked at the possibility of positive simulation by Ann and negative stimulation by Ben. Research has specified that it is difficult for patients with mental problems to portray a healthy performance on the RIM, especially in relation to concealing perceptual and cognitive disturbance (Hartmann & Hartmann, 2014;Nørbech, Fodstad, Kuisma, Lunde, & Hartmann, 2016). Even so, positive simulation causes constricted protocols with a higher than average score on Pure Form (F%) and a lower than average use of CritCont%, Aggressive Content (AGC), and Aggressive Movement (AGM) (Ganellen, 2008;Hartmann & Hartmann, 2014;Nørbech et al, 2016).…”

This case study used test data from a patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID; American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ) to illustrate how two main personality states of the patient ("Ann" and "Ben") seemed to function. The Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS; Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011 ) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex (IIP-64; Horowitz, Alden, Wiggins, & Pincus, 2000 ), administered to Ann and Ben in separate settings, exposed two diverse R-PAS and IIP-64 profiles. Ann's R-PAS profile suggested an intellectualized style of information processing with few indications of psychological problems. Ben's profile indicated severe perceptual, cognitive, and interpersonal difficulties combined with suspicion and anxiety. Ann's IIP-64 profile suggested minor interpersonal problems, whereas Ben's indicated serious relational difficulties. The findings were discussed in relation to the theory of trauma-related structural dissociation of the personality (van der Hart, Nijenhuis, & Steele, 2006 ), which implies an enduring split in the organization of the personality with more or less separate entities with their own sense of self, perception of the world, and ways of organizing emotional, cognitive, and social functions. The DID personality structure is seen as a defense strategy and as a pathway in the personality development producing serious psychological pain and symptoms.
