  • Title: [Base-rate estimates for negative response bias in a workers' compensation claim sample].
    Author: Merten T, Krahi G, Krahl C, Freytag HW.
    Journal: Versicherungsmedizin; 2010 Sep 01; 62(3):126-31. PubMed ID: 20865979.
    Abstract:
    Against the background of a growing interest in symptom validity assessment in European countries, new data on base rates of negative response bias is presented. A retrospective data analysis of forensic psychological evaluations was performed based on 398 patients with workers' compensation claims. 48 percent of all patients scored below cut-off in at least one symptom validity test (SVT) indicating possible negative response bias. However, different SVTs appear to have differing potential to identify negative response bias. The data point at the necessity to use modern methods to check data validity in civil forensic contexts.
