The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) True Response Inconsistency (TRIN) scales are measures of acquiescence and non-acquiescence included among the standard validity scales on these instruments. The goals of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of these scales in detecting varying degrees of acquiescence and non-acquiescence and to evaluate cutoff scores for clinical use. After the removal of invalid protocols from the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A normative samples, each normative sample was randomly divided in half. For each measure, one half of the normative sample served as a comparison group and the other half was modified with increasing degrees (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) of randomly inserted true or false responses. The results for a 9.1% base rate of acquiescence or non-acquiescence provide support for TRIN cutoff scores at or near those presented in the MMPI-A and MMPI-2 manuals.
明尼苏达多相人格问卷青少年版(MMPI - A)和明尼苏达多相人格问卷第二版(MMPI - 2)的真反应不一致性(TRIN)量表,是这些测评工具标准效度量表中包含的顺从和不顺从的测量指标。本研究的目的是评估这些量表在检测不同程度的顺从和不顺从方面的有效性,并评估临床使用的临界分数。从MMPI - 2和MMPI - A常模样本中剔除无效测评结果后,将每个常模样本随机分成两半。对于每项测量,常模样本的一半作为对照组,另一半则用随机插入的真或假反应,以递增程度(10%、20%、30%、40%和50%)进行修改。对于9.1%的顺从或不顺从基础率的结果,为MMPI - A和MMPI - 2手册中给出的或接近这些手册中给出的TRIN临界分数提供了支持。
