Attitudinal behavior By attitudinal behavior we mean any deliberate distortion of information about the state of his mental and/or physical health in order to obtain any benefits. Those. with attitudinal behavior the so-called rent motivation. In addition to the well-known simulation, attitudinal behavior also includes supersimulation, metasimulation, aggravation, search for symptoms, disaggravation and dissimulation.1. Simulation. This is when a person pretends to have a disease that he does not suffer from. For example, a conscript declares that he has enuresis in order to get rid of the army. A prisoner plays crazy to avoid prosecution. The child states that he has a fever and cough so as not to go to school. And so on. Since it is almost impossible to depict the disease plausibly, identifying it does not present any particular difficulties. Cases of successful simulation in the overwhelming majority of cases are due to the fact that no one particularly strives to clarify the objective truth. Well, there, parents don’t call a doctor at home, but give the child tea with raspberry jam and honey and don’t let him go to school. Or, for example, the conscript’s parents talked to the doctors in advance, and they are not very tense that the complaints stated by the young man are not confirmed by an objective examination. Mental illness cannot be faked at all. Put a pillow over your head and declare that Napoleon will not give you a ride. Get on all fours and bark too. I myself, being a psychiatrist, would not undertake to reliably portray myself as a psychopath.
