Falsifiability (psychological test theory)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Faking is in the psychological test theory the extent to which a test individual control (of the subjects allows) the nature and content of the information provided or. In particular, answers based on social desirability in judgment tests or a lack of willingness to make efforts in performance tests can contribute to the falsification. In this respect, the integrity is a secondary quality criterion of psychological processes.
