In this volume, a diverse group of world experts in personality
assessment showcase a range of different viewpoints on response
distortion. Contributors consider what it means to "fake" a
personality assessment, why and how people try to obtain particular
scores on personality tests, and what types of tests people can
successfully manipulate. The authors present and discuss the
usefulness of a range of traditional and cutting-edge methods for
detecting and controlling the practice of faking. These methods
include social desirability (lie) scales, warnings, affective
neutralization, unidimensional and multidimensional pairwise
preferences, decision trees, linguistic analysis, situational
measures, and methods based on item response theory. The wide range
of viewpoints presented in this book are then summarized,
synthesized, and evaluated. The authors make practical
recommendations and suggest areas for future research. Anyone who
wonders whether people exaggerate or lie outright on personality
tests -- or questions what psychologists can and should do about it
-- will find in this book stimulating questions and useful answers.
