Fals-Stewart, William
Psychological Assessment, v8 n1 p60-68 Mar 1996
The ability of individuals with psychoactive substance use disorders to dissimulate successfully on the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) was evaluated with 236 adults from treatment, nonclinical, control, and forensically referred groups. Findings indicate that the PAI scales measuring drug and alcohol problems are susceptible to dissimulation. (SLD)
