Abstract

The present chapter examines in detail the work of Richard Rogers on malingering and related response styles and biases. He is a leader in the field who has explored appropriate concepts, definitions, fallacies, detection strategies, research designs, etc. He is also the first author of leading psychological instruments in the field, the SIRS (Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms; Rogers et al. 1992) and the SIRS-2 (Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms, Second Edition; Rogers et al. 2010). In the first section of the monograph, I have already presented his critique of the MND (Malingered Neurocognitive Dysfunction) criteria of Slick et al. (1999).
