The relationship between the MMPI-2 restructured clinical scales and the original clinical scales was evaluated using an outpatient clinical sample (N = 150). Similar patterns of correlations to those reported by Tellegen et al. in 2003, such as high correlations between the restructured scales and their original scale counterparts and lower intercorrelations among the restructured scales than among the original scales, were found in the outpatient sample. The former provided evidence of convergence between the two sets of scales, whereas the latter increases the potential for discriminant validity in the restructured scale profiles. Mean T-scores of the restructured scales were significantly lower than their original scale counterparts for every clinical scale except Scale 1 (hypochondriasis). Individual profiles exhibited fewer scale elevations using the restructured clinical scales (M = 2.15, Mdn = 2.0) than the original clinical scales (M = 3.29, Mdn = 3.0). The majority of client profiles (56%) had fewer scale elevations when plotted using the restructured scales versus the original clinical scales.
使用一个门诊临床样本(N = 150)评估了MMPI - 2重构临床量表与原始临床量表之间的关系。在门诊样本中发现了与Tellegen等人在2003年报告的类似相关模式,例如重构量表与其对应的原始量表之间的高相关性,以及重构量表之间的相互相关性低于原始量表之间的相互相关性。前者为两组量表之间的趋同提供了证据,而后者增加了重构量表剖面图中区分效度的可能性。除了量表1(疑病症)外,每个临床量表的重构量表的平均T分数显著低于其对应的原始量表。与原始临床量表(M = 3.29,中位数 = 3.0)相比,使用重构临床量表时个体剖面图中量表升高的情况更少(M = 2.15,中位数 = 2.0)。与使用原始临床量表绘制相比,使用重构量表绘制时,大多数来访者剖面图(56%)中量表升高的情况更少。
