Antisocial features are not predictive of symptom exaggeration in forensic patients

Methods. A sample of forensic psychiatric patients (N = 57) was asked to complete several self-report instruments (measuring symptom exaggeration, lack of remorse, blame externalization, and offense minimization) and a semi-structured interview about their most recent offense. To quantify patients’ deceitfulness, the information collected via the semi-structured interview was checked against the official records of patient’s offenses. Additionally, patient’s mental disorders and the extent to which patients denied their delinquencywere determined by gathering clinician’s judgement on thismatter from patient records. The relation between symptom exaggeration and the potential predictors of symptom exaggeration was examined through correlational analyses and cross-tabulation of prevalence rates of symptom exaggeration with prevalence rates of the potential predictors.
