This study examined the effects of defensive responding on the prediction of institutional misconduct among male inmates (N = 349) who completed the Personality Assessment Inventory (L. C. Morey, 1991). Hierarchical logistic regression analyses demonstrated significant main effects for the Antisocial Features (ANT) scale as well as main effects for the Positive Impression Management (PIM) scale in some instances. Significant ANT x PIM interactions also were evident, particularly when examining recommended cut scores on these scales. These results demonstrate the predictive validity of ANT with prisoners and reinforce the importance of context when considering whether validity scales are in fact valid.
本研究考察了防御性反应对完成人格评估量表（L.C.莫雷，1991）的349名男性囚犯机构不当行为预测的影响。分层逻辑回归分析表明，反社会特征（ANT）量表有显著主效应，在某些情况下，积极印象管理（PIM）量表也有主效应。ANT与PIM的显著交互作用也很明显，特别是在检查这些量表上推荐的临界分数时。这些结果证明了ANT对囚犯的预测效度，并强化了在考虑效度量表是否真的有效时情境的重要性。
