Abstract
Malingering is a condition in which a patient consciously feigns symptoms of a physical or psychological disorder for the purposes of gain. This purpose may be conscious or unconscious in terms of the individuals’ awareness of their own motivation. However, the attempts to falsify test responses are deliberate.
