Abstract
The relationship between ethnicity and the accuracy of a new PTSD malingering assessment, with acculturation as a moderator, was examined. A Bayesian logistic regression model (N = 81) found only a positive main effect of acculturation on malingering accuracy (M = 0.99, SD = 0.51, 95% HDI [0.02, 2.00]).
