Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal focuses on the assessment of validity in psychological evaluations, particularly within legal contexts. It examines the use and validation of symptom validity tests (SVTs) and performance validity tests (PVTs) to detect non-credible responding. Research also addresses the application of these validity measures in medical expert witness assessments (MEWAs) and their impact on diagnostic accuracy and clinical cutoffs.
