This dissertation examines how inmates may exaggerate or fabricate symptoms, complicating interpretation of MMPI-2 results. It presents an analogue investigation using defined participants, materials, and procedure, followed by structured analyses to evaluate findings related to groups’ demographic equivalence, adherence to instructions, and core analytic outcomes.
