Examination of the psychometric properties and content areas of the revised MMPI's (MMPI-2 [Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2]) content scales is required. In this study the criterion-related validity of the MMPI-2 Depression, Anxiety, and Anger Content scales was examined using the following conceptually relevant scales: The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and State Triad Anger Scale (STAS).
MMPI-2 Depression, Anxiety, and Anger Content scales, and BDI, BAI, and STAS were administered to a sample of 196 students at Middle East Technical University (n= 196; 122 female, 74 male). Regression analyses were performed to determine if these conceptually relevant scales contributed significantly beyond the content scales. The MMPI-2 Depression Content Scale was compared to BDI, the MMPI-2 Anxiety Scale was compared to BAI, and the MMPI-2 Anger Content Scale was compared to STAS.
The internal consistency of the MMPI-2 Depression Content Scale (alpha = 0.82), the MMPI-2 Anxiety Content Scale (alpha = 0.73), and the MMPI-2 Anger Content Scale (alpha = 0.72) was obtained. Criterion validity of the 3 analyzed content scales was demonstrated for both males and females.
The findings indicated that (1) the MMPI-2 Depression Content Scale provides information about the general level of depression, (2) the MMPI-2 Anxiety Content Scale assesses subjective anxiety rather than somatic anxiety, and (3) the MMPI-2 Anger Content Scale may provide information about the potential to act out. The findings also provide further evidence that the 3 conceptually relevant scales aid in the interpretation of MMPI-2 scores by contributing additional information beyond the clinical scales.
需要对修订后的明尼苏达多相人格问卷第二版（MMPI - 2 [Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2]）内容量表的心理测量特性和内容领域进行检验。在本研究中，使用以下概念相关量表检验了MMPI - 2抑郁、焦虑和愤怒内容量表的效标关联效度：贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和状态三元愤怒量表（STAS）。
对中东技术大学的196名学生样本（n = 196；122名女性，74名男性）施测MMPI - 2抑郁、焦虑和愤怒内容量表，以及BDI、BAI和STAS。进行回归分析以确定这些概念相关量表是否能在内容量表之外显著提供额外信息。将MMPI - 2抑郁内容量表与BDI进行比较，MMPI - 2焦虑量表与BAI进行比较，MMPI - 2愤怒内容量表与STAS进行比较。
得到了MMPI - 2抑郁内容量表（α = 0.82）、MMPI - 2焦虑内容量表（α = 0.73）和MMPI - 2愤怒内容量表（α = 0.72）的内部一致性。对男性和女性均证明了所分析的3个内容量表的效标效度。
研究结果表明：（1）MMPI - 2抑郁内容量表提供了关于抑郁总体水平的信息；（2）MMPI - 2焦虑内容量表评估的是主观焦虑而非躯体焦虑；（3）MMPI - 2愤怒内容量表可能提供关于冲动行为可能性的信息。研究结果还进一步证明，这3个概念相关量表通过提供超出临床量表的额外信息，有助于对MMPI - 2分数进行解释。
