Manipulation Vulnerability Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to screen for individual differences in susceptibility to interpersonal influence and related response patterns. The Manipulation Vulnerability Assessment can be used to support clinical interviewing by highlighting areas where a respondent may have difficulty recognizing or resisting coercive, deceptive, or controlling interactions.
It is a brief self-report questionnaire consisting of 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Content is intended to reflect tendencies such as trust, suggestibility, and compliance under social pressure, with results interpreted as indicators of relative vulnerability rather than definitive conclusions. The Manipulation Vulnerability Assessment is attributed to Paulhus, D. L., and Christie, R.
