The MMPI-2-Restructured Form (RF) validity scales were designed to meet or exceed the sensitivity of their MMPI-2 counterparts to symptom over-reporting. This study examined the incremental validity of MMPI-2-RF validity scales and RBS in assessing memory complaints. The MMPI-2-RF over-reporting validity scales were more strongly associated with mean Memory Complaints Inventory scores than their MMPI-2 counterparts (d = 0.22 to 0.49). RBS showed the strongest relationship with memory complaints. Regression analyses demonstrated the incremental validity of the MMPI-2-RF Infrequent Responses, Infrequent Psychopathology Responses, Infrequent Somatic Responses, and FBS-r scales relative to MMPI-2 F, Fp, and FBS in predicting memory complaints. This is consistent with the development objectives of the MMPI-2-RF validity scales as more efficient and sensitive measures of symptom over-reporting.Keywords: adult; anxiety disorder; article; Canada; depression; disability; expert witness; female; head injury; human; legal aspect; male; malingering; memory disorder; mental disease; middle aged; Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory; pain; psychological a Forensic evaluation; Malingering; Memory complaints; MMPI-2; MMPI-2-RF; Response Bias Scale201010.1093/arclin/acq0182016-02-24
