The present study was designed to examine test-taking behavior of parents involved in child custody evaluations. Specifically, the relation between parental responses on the MMPI-2 and subsequent responding on the CBCL was examined. Archival child custody evaluation data served as the database representing 476 parents and children. Two groups were formed from the parent data. The first group, termed underreporters, produced elevated <italic>L </italic> and <italic>K</italic> scores on the MMPI-2 suggesting self-favoring responding. The second group, termed nonunderreporters, did not evidence self-favoring responses. Results demonstrated group differences in overall child behavior reporting. However, effect size statistics suggest the multivariate effect was a function of the sample size. In addition, correlational analyses between the <italic>L</italic> and <italic>K</italic> scales and CBCL scales suggest a significant, albeit weak relation between the two measures. In summary, the results demonstrate that defensive test-taking behavior does not appear to influence parents' ratings of child behavioral functioning.
