Abstract

The articles in this issue by Nichols (2006/this issue) and Rogers, Sewell, Harrison, and Jordan (2006/this issue) provide evaluations and critiques of the Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales developed by Tellegen et al. (2003) to reduce the high intercorrelations typically found among MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) Basic scales and to correspondingly improve the discriminate validity of these scales. This manuscript provides another perspective that acknowledges that it would be premature to discontinue the use of the standard MMPI-2 basic scales until more research has been accumulated on the RC Scales. However, it is also proposed that the RC Scales are an innovative and important contribution that holds substantial potential for addressing a number of significant limitations in the MMPI-2 and thereby improving the assessment of psychopathology with this instrument.

摘要

本期 Nichols（2006 年/本期）以及 Rogers、Sewell、Harrison 和 Jordan（2006 年/本期）的文章对 Tellegen 等人（2003 年）开发的重组临床（RC）量表进行了评估和批判。开发这些量表的目的是降低通常在明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版（MMPI - 2，Butcher、Dahlstrom、Graham、Tellegen 和 Kaemmer，1989 年）基本量表之间发现的高相关性，并相应提高这些量表的区分效度。本手稿提供了另一种观点，即承认在对 RC 量表积累更多研究之前就停止使用标准 MMPI - 2 基本量表还为时过早。然而，也有人提出，RC 量表是一项创新且重要的贡献，在解决 MMPI - 2 的一些重大局限性方面具有巨大潜力，从而改进使用该工具对精神病理学的评估。
