Signs of feigning in the phallometric test

Abstract

The first part of the study tested the validity of the conjecture that three particular patterns, occurring in phallometric results, are signs of feigning. In all three cases the outcome supported this conjecture. Part Two showed that feigning a spurious preference for sex (gender) of partner is more difficult than feigning a spurious preference in respect to partner age, and that the degree of difficulty of the latter depends on whether or not the S was already familiar with the phallometric test, and on the version of the phallometric test for age preference and sex preference used.
