We examined the psychometric properties of the Restructured Clinical (RC) scales (Tellegen et al., 2003) of the MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) in a large sample (N = 744) of 18-year-old college freshman. We found that the RC scales demonstrated good convergence with their Clinical scale counterparts and were more distinctive than the Clinical scales. The patterns of discriminant correlations for the RC scales were slightly clearer than those of the Clinical scales and a set of other existing MMPI-2 scales. Diagnostic efficiency statistics based on Clinical and RC scale elevation status did not differ appreciably. However, the diagnostic efficiency statistics of cutoff scores derived from mean RC and Clinical scale T scores improved on the traditional scale elevation measures. We consider the clinical implications of these findings.
我们在一个由744名18岁大学新生组成的大样本中，检验了明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版（MMPI - 2，布彻、达尔斯特伦、格雷厄姆、泰勒根和凯默，1989年）的重构临床（RC）量表（泰勒根等人，2003年）的心理测量特性。我们发现，RC量表与其对应的临床量表表现出良好的趋同性，并且比临床量表更具独特性。RC量表的判别相关模式比临床量表以及一组其他现有的MMPI - 2量表的模式略显清晰。基于临床量表和RC量表升高状态的诊断效率统计数据没有明显差异。然而，从RC量表和临床量表T分数均值得出的临界分数的诊断效率统计数据在传统量表升高测量基础上有所改进。我们考虑了这些发现的临床意义。
