Scale 5 of the MMPI and MMPI-A was compared in a repeated measures design. Participants for the study were 43 adolescents classified as emotionally disturbed in a public school system and 17 inpatients at a residential treatment center. The MMPI Scale 5 mean score was substantially higher than that of the MMPI-A. The alternate-form reliability between Scale 5 of the two forms was surprisingly low, suggesting that the deletion of 16 items and rewording of 6 additional items changed the scale on the MMPI-A to an extent that may have significantly altered the underlying construct. The authors discuss factors that could be associated with the findings, including: (a) the diminished ability to express feminine interest on the MMPI-A, and (b) general changes in attitudes among adolescents over the 3 or more decades since the MMPI norms were developed.
在重复测量设计中对明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）和明尼苏达多相人格测验青少年版（MMPI - A）的量表5进行了比较。该研究的参与者包括43名在公立学校系统中被归类为情绪困扰的青少年以及17名在寄宿治疗中心的住院患者。MMPI量表5的平均得分显著高于MMPI - A。两种量表的量表5之间的交替形式信度出奇地低，这表明删除16个项目并对另外6个项目重新措辞在一定程度上改变了MMPI - A上的量表，可能显著改变了其潜在结构。作者讨论了可能与这些发现相关的因素，包括：（a）MMPI - A上表达女性兴趣的能力下降，以及（b）自MMPI常模制定以来的三十多年间青少年态度的总体变化。
