Comparison of MMPI-2 Clinical and Content Scales Administered to Hispanic and Anglo-Americans.
Whitworth, Randolph H.; Unterbrink, Christian
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v16 n3 p255-64 Aug 1994
The original MMPI was criticized as being invalid with minority populations. When the revised MMPI-2 was administered to 400 Mexican American and Anglo American college students, the groups differed significantly on most content scales and several validity and clinical scales. However, absolute score differences were not so large as to preclude the instrument's use with Hispanic Americans. (SV)
