This study examined preexisting Rorschach (Exner, 2001) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-A (MMPI-A; Butcher et al., 1992) profiles to determine if selected MMPI-A scales and Rorschach variables would jointly associate with the number and severity of maltreatment subtypes (physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and emotional maltreatment) of 157 adolescents (ages 14-17) with documented maltreatment histories. The Maltreatment Classification System was used to systematically code the maltreatment attributes. Six Rorschach variables (MOR, PER, Afr, SumY, SumC', Human Content) were significantly correlated with the number of maltreatment subtypes, but none of the anticipated MMPI-A scales were related. MMPI-A Scale 7 and Rorschach variables Ego, MOR, and PER were jointly associated with physical abuse severity. MMPI-A Scale 0 and Rorschach variables MOR, PER, SumY, SumC', PTI, Human Content, and Texture jointly associated with sexual abuse severity. This study supports the potential for certain MMPI-A scales and Rorschach variables to reflect the impact of adolescents' maltreatment experiences in terms of the number and severity of types of maltreatment experienced. Because both instruments captured different aspects of adolescents' maltreatment experiences, clinicians should consider using both when evaluating the impact of maltreatment on adolescents.
本研究通过分析 Rorschach（Exner，2001）和明尼苏达多相人格测验-A（MMPI-A；Butcher 等人，1992）的预存档案，以确定是否有选择的 MMPI-A 量表和罗夏变量与 157 名（年龄在 14-17 岁）有虐待史的青少年的虐待亚型数量和严重程度（身体虐待、性虐待、忽视和情感虐待）相关。采用虐待分类系统对虐待属性进行系统编码。有六个罗夏变量（MOR、PER、Afr、SumY、SumC'、人类内容）与虐待亚型数量显著相关，但没有一个预期的 MMPI-A 量表与之相关。MMPI-A 量表 7 和罗夏变量自我、MOR 和 PER 与身体虐待的严重程度相关。MMPI-A 量表 0 和罗夏变量 MOR、PER、SumY、SumC'、PTI、人类内容和纹理与性虐待的严重程度相关。本研究支持某些 MMPI-A 量表和罗夏变量能够反映青少年遭受虐待的影响，包括遭受虐待的类型和严重程度。因为这两种工具都捕捉到了青少年遭受虐待经历的不同方面，所以临床医生在评估虐待对青少年的影响时，应该考虑同时使用这两种工具。
