Using ratings provided by significant others, we examined characteristics of 819 normal men whose scores on the Masculinity-Femininity scale (Scale 5) of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) ranged from low to high. Also examined were the possible effects of educational level as a moderator variable. Only one external characteristic was correlated with Scale 5 scores at a level of significance that could not be attributed to chance, and that correlation was negative, whereas previous literature indicated a positive relationship. The findings were essentially the same whether or not the effects of education were controlled. Regardless of Scale 5 scores and the higher the men's educational levels, the more positive were ratings by their partners. In general, the results do not support the usefulness of Scale 5 in describing the personalities and behaviors of normal men.
我们利用重要他人提供的评分，研究了819名正常男性的特征，这些男性在明尼苏达多相人格问卷第二版（MMPI - 2）的男性化 - 女性化量表（量表5）上的得分从低到高。我们还研究了教育水平作为调节变量可能产生的影响。只有一个外部特征与量表5得分在统计学显著水平上相关，且该相关性为负，而先前的文献表明两者呈正相关。无论是否控制教育的影响，研究结果基本相同。无论量表5得分如何，男性的教育水平越高，其伴侣给出的评分就越积极。总体而言，结果并不支持量表5在描述正常男性的人格和行为方面的有效性。
