Detection of random response and impression management of PAI: Cutoff scores of Validity scales

Abstract

This study described the cutoff scores, identification rates of PAI validity scales, and presented the profiles of random response and impression management groups. To examine the effective cutoff scores, the distribution of normal adults, clinical patients, and computer simulation were compared and suggested the cutoff scores and identification rates. University students were instructed to respond randomly, which was used to test the utility of cutoff scores. To detect the impression management, university students were assigned to positive and negative impression instruction condition and the distributions of these groups were compared with normal adults and clinical patients. Also, we presented the profiles of random response and impression management group and discussed other implications.
