Response style and the revised NEO personality inventory: validity scales and spousal ratings in a Chinese psychiatric sample.
TLDR
Correlations between self-report and spousal ratings were reduced in patients engaging in positive self-presentational bias compared to those who were not so categorized on three of the five NEO PI-R scales, but these results were manifest only in a sub-sample of psychotic patients.Abstract:
The effects of response style bias on profile scores from the family of NEO scales and the resultant influence of response style on the predictive capacity of these scales continues to be debated. In this study, a large sample of Chinese psychiatric patients were categorized into four response style groups based on their scores from recently developed "validity" scales for the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). Mean differences and correlations between self-report and spousal ratings of these patients were examined for the NEO PI-R domain and facet scales. Excessive positive self-presentation bias resulted in mean differences between the self-report and spousal ratings for N and E. Correlations between self-report and spousal ratings were reduced in patients engaging in positive self-presentational bias compared to those who were not so categorized on three of the five NEO PI-R scales. However, these results were manifest only in a sub-sample of psychotic patients. Negative self-presentational bias did not affect mean differences or diminish the correlations between the self-report and spousal ratings.read more

TL;DR: The findings suggest that age differences in social cognition are limited to the processing of facial emotion, and with age there appears to be increasing reliance on a common resource to perform social tasks, but one that is not shared with other cognitive domains.

Explaining lower rates of sexual abuse in China
TL;DR: It is concluded that while some estimates have almost certainly been affected by inhibited disclosure, the overall magnitude of the contrast between Chinese and international rates, particularly for girls, and its consistency with other indicators do suggest a true lower prevalence, although the evidence is equivocal.

TL;DR: The sensitivity and specificity of these validity indexes indicated that although none performed well in extremely low base rate environments, the NPM and NPM - PPM indexes showed promise when the base rate of faking bad rose to higher levels.
