Resumen
TAURIZ, Gabriel. Faking and Validity of Personality Measures in Academic Contexts. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.2, pp.103-115. ISSN 2174-0534.
Faking is the distortion of responses to a questionnaire by the assessees. This study examines the effect of faking, induced in a laboratory setting, on the criterion and construct validity of a personality questionnaire based on the Five Factor Model. It also examines the effect that the strategy of warning, one of the methods used to avoid faking, may have on the validity of the questionnaire. The results indicate a decrement in the predictive ability of the test, both in faking and warning conditions. The factor structure is also slightly affected. The implications of the results for research and practice are examined and discussed.
