Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
This study evaluated the scores of a Modified MAYSI-2 (MMAYSI-2) that added 10 items capturing over-reporting and 10 items capturing under-reporting response bias in a sample of college students who were instructed to over-report, under-report, or answer honestly. A factor analysis established the new items to capture over- and under-reporting and ANOVAs identified statistically significant differences across the instruction groups in both the original MAYSI-2 clinical scale scores and the proposed validity scales in the expected directions. The results are discussed in reference to further development of measuring response style on the MAYSI-2.
