We also reiterate Ben-Porath and Tellegen's (2008/2011) caution that MMPI- 2-RF scale elevations alone are not sufficient to indicate the presence of psychiatric disorder. Results indicate that MMPI- 2-RF scale elevation rates were generally consistent with epidemiological data when examined in the context of standard interpretation guidelines for the inventory. Our objective was to evaluate MMPI- 2-RF elevation rates in an epidemiological context. In the current study we compare scale elevation rates in the MMPI- 2-RF normative sample to prevalence rates of mental disorders primarily drawn from the National Comorbidity Study Replication (Kessler et al., 2005 ). 2% of which met criteria for a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (APA, 1994 ) disorder in a 12-month period (Kessler, Chiu, Demler, & Walters, 2005 ). However, the MMPI- 2-RF normative sample is intended to represent the general population of the United States, 26. Odland, Berthelson, Sharma, Martin, and Mittenberg ( 2013 ) caution that clinically elevated scale scores produced by members of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2-Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008 /2011) normative sample raise concerns about the potential for false positive findings of psychopathology.

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2-Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF) normative elevation rates: comparisons with epidemiological prevalence rates. Implications of these results and limitations of these findings are discussed. Overall, our findings reflect the internal structure comparability of MMPI- 2-RF scale scores generated from MMPI- 2 and MMPI- 2-RF booklets. Finally, MMPI- 2-RF intercorrelations produced from the two forms yielded mostly small and a few medium differences, indicating that discriminant validity and test structure are maintained.

Cronbach's alpha and standard errors of measurement were approximately equal between the booklets for all MMPI- 2-RF scales. Statistically significant small differences were observed on the revised Variable Response Inconsistency (VRIN-r) and True Response Inconsistency (TRIN-r) scales. Independent t tests showed no statistically significant differences between MMPI- 2-RF scores generated with the MMPI- 2 and MMPI- 2-RF booklets on the test's substantive scales. Individuals in the final sample who completed the MMPI- 2-RF did not statistically differ on demographics or referral question from those who were administered the MMPI- 2 booklet. No statistically significant differences in MMPI- 2-RF invalidity rates were observed between the two forms. After exclusion of invalid protocols, the final sample consisted of 96 defendants who were administered the MMPI- 2-RF booklet and 83 who completed the MMPI- 2.

We investigated the internal structure comparability of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2-Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF) scores derived from the MMPI- 2 and MMPI- 2-RF booklets in a sample of 320 criminal defendants (229 males and 54 females). Tarescavage, Anthony M Alosco, Michael L Ben-Porath, Yossef S Wood, Arcangela Luna-Jones, Lynn Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2-Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF) scores generated from the MMPI- 2 and MMPI- 2-RF test booklets: internal structure comparability in a sample of criminal defendants. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved). The MMPI- 2-RF overreporting validity scales proved to be modestly better predictors of suspected psychopathology malingering-compared with the MMPI- 2 overreporting scales-in dimensional predictive models and categorical classification accuracy analyses. Results provide support for the capacity of both the MMPI- 2 and the MMPI- 2-RF overreporting validity scales to predict suspected malingering of psychopathology. The current study expands on past research examining the comparative capacity of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2 ( MMPI- 2 Butcher et al., 2001) and MMPI- 2 Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011) overreporting validity scales to detect suspected malingering, as assessed by the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST Miller, 2001), in a sample of public insurance disability claimants (N = 742) who were considered to have potential incentives to malinger. The comparative capacity of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2 ( MMPI- 2) and MMPI- 2 Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF) validity scales to detect suspected malingering in a disability claimant sample.Ĭhmielewski, Michael Zhu, Jiani Burchett, Danielle Bury, Alison S Bagby, R Michael
