Abstract
Effects of two faking instructions on the Contact Personality Factor Test were investigated. Contact and distortion scores were significantly increased under both faking sets. The instruction which warned that a means existed for detection of faking produced significantly smaller increases in contact and distortion than did the instruction without such warning. Distortion scores showed a moderate degree of effectiveness in discriminating between regular and faked administration protocols.Keywords
