Resumo

A multidimensional study on the symptom exaggeration in whiplash is presented. The main aim is to detect discriminant patterns of malingered pain-related disability. Overall sample (n=77) was divided in two groups: whiplash patients (n=47), and analogue whiplash-instructed participants (n=30). Several medical and psychological tests: were administered to participants, including: medical complementary tests, the Neck Pain Questionnaire, the SF-36 Health Survey, the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS), and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 - Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF). Data on mean group differences and predictive accuracy of the instruments used are presented.
