Objective : Research suggests that naive participants can simulate PTSD (post - traumatic stress disorder) using a symptom checklist. Is successful faking of DSM - IV criteria B - D on PTSD checklists due to prior knowledge of PTSD, the leading nature of symptom checklists, or a combination ? Design : Between - groups design. Method: Naïve participants self - generated PTSD symptoms from a vignette. They were then randomly assigned to groups given a standard symptom checklist or a checklist containing bogus items not normally associated with PTSD. Results: Less than 1 % self - generated symptoms that met DSM - IV criteria B - D for PTSD. It was found that 94 % of participants satisfied these criteria using the standard checklist and 90 % on the modified checklist. Participants incorrectly identified 38 % of bogus symptoms as symptoms of PTSD. Conclusions : Despite poor prior knowledge of PTSD, 94 % of participants fulfilled diagnostic criteria using a standard checklist. This is probably due to symptom 'guessing'.
