This study examined the intensity of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms as measured by the Mississippi Scale, the Keane (PK), and the PTSD (PS) Scales of the MMPI-2 in a sample of 34 African-American and 34 White American Vietnam War Veterans who sought treatment in a Specialized Inpatient PTSD Unit. The scores of the two groups on the Beck Depression Inventory and the clinical scales of the MMPI-2 were also compared. The ethnoculturally different sample was matched on intensity of combat exposure, marital status, employment status, age, and education. No significant differences on the measures of PTSD symptoms were noted and no significant differences were found on the Beck scale or the MMPI-2 clinical scales.
本研究对34名非裔美国越战退伍军人和34名美国白人越战退伍军人进行了调查，这些退伍军人在一个专门的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）住院治疗单元寻求治疗，研究采用密西西比量表、基恩量表（PK）以及明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版（MMPI - 2）中的创伤后应激障碍量表（PS）来测量创伤后应激障碍症状的强度。同时还比较了两组在贝克抑郁量表和MMPI - 2临床量表上的得分。在战斗暴露强度、婚姻状况、就业状况、年龄和教育程度方面，对这两个具有不同种族文化背景的样本进行了匹配。结果发现，两组在创伤后应激障碍症状测量指标上没有显著差异，在贝克量表或MMPI - 2临床量表上也未发现显著差异。
