    This study investigated response manipulation on the Depression Adjective Check List (DACL) by having college students fake good or bad. Results indicate that examiners can detect faking through significantly deviant scores.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological assessment
    • Clinical psychology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • Response manipulation in psychological assessments is a concern.
    • The Depression Adjective Check List (DACL) is used to measure depressive symptoms.
    • Understanding how individuals manipulate responses is crucial for accurate assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine response manipulation strategies on the DACL.
    • To determine if individuals can successfully 'fake good' or 'fake bad' on the DACL.
    • To assess the detectability of response manipulation by examiners.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2x3x2x2 mixed factorial, counterbalanced design was employed.
    • 240 college students (120 males, 120 females) participated.

  • Participants completed the DACL under conditions of faking good, faking bad, or faking average, with varying trial orders.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences were observed when participants were instructed to 'fake bad' or 'fake good'.
    • Grossly deviant scores were indicative of a manipulative set.
    • The order of 'actual' versus 'faked' trials did not significantly alter the detectability of manipulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Examiners can potentially detect response manipulation on the DACL.
    • Deviant scores serve as indicators of intentional response distortion.
    • The findings have implications for the validity and interpretation of DACL results in clinical settings.
