54 African and Mexican American adolescent first-time offenders were examined with the MMPI-A to evaluate ethnic differences. Multivariate analyses by ethnicity and MMPI-A scales (validity, clinical, content, and supplementary scales) were not significant; however, there was a significant univariate difference where African American adolescents scored significantly higher on the Repression scale than the Mexican American group. A greater percentage of within-normal-limits profiles were African American (50%) than Mexican American (25%). Research and clinical implications for using the MMPI-A with these groups are discussed.
对54名非洲裔和墨西哥裔美国青少年初犯进行了明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版青少年版（MMPI-A）测试，以评估种族差异。按种族和MMPI-A量表（效度、临床、内容和附加量表）进行的多变量分析无显著差异；然而，存在显著的单变量差异，即非洲裔美国青少年在压抑量表上的得分显著高于墨西哥裔美国青少年组。非洲裔美国人（50%）处于正常范围的量表剖面图比例高于墨西哥裔美国人（25%）。文中讨论了对这些群体使用MMPI-A的研究和临床意义。
