MMPI Scales and Subscales: Patterns of Older, Middle-Aged, and Younger Inpatients.
Hyer, Lee; And Others
Journal of Clinical Psychology, v42 n4 p596-601 Jul 1986
One hundred younger, middle-aged, and older psychiatric inpatients were compared on the basic 13 MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) scales and 77 MMPI Subscales. Older patients tended to respond more conservatively to these scales, to show less pathology, and to endorse fewer subtle/obvious items than the other age groups. (Author/ABB)
