Abstract
The proposed simulation design study will ask adolescents to feign ADHD by filling an ADHD rating form and the PAI-A to convince psychologists they have ADHD. They will be warned and incentivized to avoid detection of feigning. The ability of the PAI-A validity scales to detect feigning will be determined.
