“The Use of the Personality Assessment Inventory in the Assessment of Impairment with Motor Vehicle Accident Claimants"

Date

Friday, January 14, 2011

Description

Dr. Jeremy Frank, Ph.D. & Dr. Michael Cheng, Ph.D.
The aim of our presentation is to introduce participants to the Personality Assessment Inventory in the context of working with motor vehicle accident victims. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the PAI with this population. We will present new population-specific norms for the PAI so as to allow more useful and accurate inferences. We will provide a thorough review of the PAI's validity indices and its strengths as a measure of response bias/profile distortion. We will discuss the practical use of the PAI when conducting psychological disability assessment and will introduce new and promising lines of research.
