Performance validity tests in a large racially and linguistically diverse pediatric and young adult clinical sample: Investigations of the TOMM, MVP, and MSVT
Key Points
This research aims to examine the effectiveness of performance validity tests (PVTs) among racially and linguistically diverse pediatric populations.
Analyzed performance validity tests (TOMM, MVP, MSVT) in a clinical sample
Included a large and diverse group of participants
Compared failure rates across different racial and linguistic backgrounds
Found comparable failure rates across various racial, ethnic, and linguistic groups
Reinforced the clinical relevance of PVTs in diverse populations
Demonstrated that PVTs can be effectively applied regardless of race or language
Abstract
Findings suggest largely comparable failure rates across racial/ethnic/linguistic groups, reinforcing the clinical utility of PVTs in racially diverse populations.
