Clearly, the defenses motivation for use of the malingering defense is to establish that the victim or plaintiff is not worthy of a recovery.
Given the rather imperfect methodology employed in utilizing personality tests to determine whether an individual is malingering, or has secondary gain motivations, counsel must be cautioned to strictly examine any expert relying solely on personality tests in order to determine this issue.
When all treating doctors concur that the plaintiff is genuine, that no malingering or secondary gain motivation exists, then counsel must prepare for a complete analysis of all test data utilized by the defense expert in order to conclude that malingering is present.

 Malingering
Although there may also be some secondary gain (e.g., disability payments), there are also secondary costs (e.g., loss of a fulfilling job, loss of income, loss of function).
However, the secondary costs are often so high that it makes the physician assume the disorder could not have been self-induced; this assumption can lead to substantial delays in diagnosis.
In malingering, the secondary gain of some external benefit is usually greater than the secondary costs and is obvious to an outside observer.

The results suggest that although none of the proposed model variables (attention deficit-related behavior, secondary gain, family life stress, and child-reported illness attitudes) is a significant predictor of adherence, secondary gain does moderate the relationship between asthma severity and adherence (with peak flow as a covariate).
More specifically, a significant positive correlation between severity and adherence exists only when secondary gain is low; otherwise, the correlation is non-significant.
The optimal linear combination of participant age, secondary gain, child-reported illness attitudes, family stress, and attention-related behavior problems is not a significant predictor of prescription refill rate when physiological outcome is covaried from refill rate.
