The use of the MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstron, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) with minorities has been questioned due to potential misinterpretations related to cultural differences. This study examined acculturative differences among Asian American college students and their scores on the validity and clinical scales. A sample of Asian American students (n = 90) was assigned to groups based on acculturation level. Analysis of variance tests indicated that low-acculturated, bicultural, and high-acculturated Asian Americans yielded different profiles. Compared to a matched White student sample, low-acculturated Asian Americans scored significantly higher on 9 scales, and bicultural Asian Americans had 6 significantly different scores. These differences were clinically interpretable with a range from 6.46 to 21.65 T-score points. High-acculturated Asian Americans did not differ from Whites. Cultural variables to be considered when interpreting Asian American profiles are discussed.
由于与文化差异相关的潜在误解，明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版（MMPI - 2；Butcher、Dahlstron、Graham、Tellegen和Kaemmer，1989）在少数群体中的使用受到了质疑。本研究考察了亚裔美国大学生在文化适应方面的差异以及他们在效度量表和临床量表上的得分。根据文化适应水平，将一组亚裔美国学生样本（n = 90）分为不同的组。方差分析表明，文化适应程度低、双文化和文化适应程度高的亚裔美国人呈现出不同的特征。与匹配的白人学生样本相比，文化适应程度低的亚裔美国人在9个量表上得分显著更高，双文化亚裔美国人有6个得分显著不同。这些差异在临床上具有可解释性，T分数点范围为6.46至21.65。文化适应程度高的亚裔美国人与白人没有差异。文中讨论了解读亚裔美国人特征时需要考虑的文化变量。
