Merckelbach, H., & Collaris, J. (2012). Mother Teresa Doesn't Help Here: Lack of Moral Priming Effects on Malingered Symptom Reports and What We Can Learn from it. Psychologica Belgica, 52(2-3), 2-3.

We explored whether exposing people to a moral prime would reduce their tendency to engage in malingering. Using an instructed malingering paradigm (N = 90), half of the participants were given the option to malinger symptoms, whereas the other half was asked to respond honestly.

Within each group, some participants received no further instructions; others were warned that malingering might be detected, while still others were given a prime that consisted of questions about moral topics (i.e., the Mother Teresa Questionnaire). Next, a symptoms scale, and two dedicated malinger tests were administered. Malinger instructions generated heightened scores on the symptoms scale, and deviant performance on the malinger instruments.
