This study provides a cross-validation of several control/hostility scales by comparing mental health center patients who later were arrested for felony crimes with those who were not. (Author)

Article investigated the differences in responses of blacks and whites to the MMPI. (Author/RK)

It has been the impression of the authors that a significant minority of MMPI profiles produced by adolescents suggest schizophrenia when such a process is not evident clinically. The present study was conducted in order to measure and better understand the frequency of false positive adolescent MMPI profiles. (Author)

The present study investigated the power of the MMPI to make individual discriminations between psychiatric diagnostic groups (schizophrenic vs. nonschizophrenic) of blacks and whites when education and diagnosis are varied systematically. (Author/RK)

Discusses methodological problems involving use of MMPI by reviewing past literature. MMPI is so easily used that it is sometimes misapplied or data obtained from it are incorrectly analyzed by researchers unfamiliar with its limitations or peculiarities. Suggestions for improving research design are made. (Author/BEF)

The present study investigated the utility of the MMPI as a predictor of success or failure of an alcoholic sample in a behavioral outpatient alcoholism treatment program. (Author)

Because the MMPI is used so widely in clincial practice, the present study was designed to assess a gender-based repression hypothesis as it applies to the MMPI critical items. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to examine the emotional adjustment of brain-damaged patients with dysphasic deficits. (Editor)

Compared two sets of variables (one known to reflect psychopathology and the other to reflect certain normal personality traits) to determine whether they overlapped in both normal and abnormal samples. Findings are taken as indicative that personality patterns remain contiguous with psychological symptomatology regardless of the presence or lack…

Demonstrates the consequences on total misdiagnosis rates of using conventional (fixed) rather than flexible (Bayesian) rules when using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in diagnosis. Concludes that the range of base rates and the separation of distributions of normal and abnormal scores affect the difference in the misdiagnosis…

Performed a principal axes factor anlaysis on Mini-Mult item data obtained from 249 medical and psychiatric patients. Six factors were extracted. Nonoverlapping summative scales were constructed and their reliabilities evaluated. The scales were recommended for applications in which it is desirable to avoid excessive item overlap. (JAC)

College freshmen in 1968 tended to show higher Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) clinical scale scores than freshmen in 1958. Role confusion and premature identity foreclosure of college students was considered. (Editor/RK)

The MMPI profiles of 359 correctional officer applicants were cluster analyzed, which resulted in the identification of five relatively homogeneous subgroups. The implications of the findings for occupationally adaptive and maladaptive correctional officer behavior were discussed. (Editor)

This research extended comparisons of the Mini-Mult and the MMPI to a different population, incarcerated adult female felons, and provided data on the utility of the Mini-Mult with females who were representative of a 14-year sample of incarcerated felons. (Author/RK)

The comparative psychological well-being of transsexual females who sought sexual reassignment surgery to harmonize their anatomy with their male gender was investigated. (Editor)
