The "fakeability" of the attitudes toward disabled persons scale: form B. 1979

H G Speakman, and C M Hoffmann

The purpose of this study was to provide evidence for or against the "fakeability" of the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale: Form B. Form B of the Scale was administered to 25 women, between the ages of 19 and 24, studying at a midwestern university. Seven days later, the subjects retook the test and were instructed to fake their answers so that they would receive a higher score. The difference between the true scores and the fake scores were not found to be significant, and it was concluded that the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale: Form B is not "fakeable."
