Resumo
Psychological assessments in forensic setting have to study the manipulations of the answers i.e., malingering, faking good, conceal or denial of information (Arce, 2007). In civil litigations, and more specifically in family cases in dispute by the custody, the faking good hypothesis should be tested. Faking good may be referred to social desirability, the concealment, denial or minimization of symptomatology. A field study to contrast the efficiency of the validity scales of the 16-PF-5, the instrument of reference in the analysis of the personality in family cases (Ackerman & Ackerman, 1997; Bow & Quinnell, 2001), in the discrimination of parents’ answers to the 16-PF-5 under standard instructions and in dispute by the custody. Results showed that parents’ answers in dispute by custody were, in comparison to parents under standard instructions, less infrequent and biased to social desirability. Implications for forensic practice of the results are discussed.
