It seems that we just can’t get enough scales that measure bias, since it is such a complex and important problem. Friedman, Lewark, Nichols and Webb (2001) “Psychological Assessment with the MMPI-2″ is a good source and will provide you with the references you need. L, F and K are great scales. After that- Wiggins Sd, S, So-r (Edwards) and Nichols and Green’s Other Deception (Od) show incremental validity over L and K (p.55). However, the best measures of bias often are not from more scales but revealed by the motives, documents and clinical and collateral interviews.

I have heard they are very good in forensic contexts as they are less easily influenced by coaching than traditional validity scales. I have search recent journal articles alas but to no avail. Can you help? Many Thanks Ken
