The purpose of this study was to compare the MMPI performance of Hispanic, black, and white mental patients who were matched on the psychiatric diagnosis of schizophrenia. It was hypothesized that ethnic patient groups from a maximum security hospital would not differ significantly on any of the 13 MMPI scales as a result of being equated on psychiatric diagnosis. A secondary purpose was to examine the most frequently occurring two-point high-point codes elicited by each of the ethnic groups. Significant multivariate differences were indicated among the MMPI scales and across ethnic groups. Significant univariate differences were found among the three ethnic groups on six of the 13 MMPI scales. The most frequently occurring two-point high-point code for Hispanic and white groups was the "8-2/2-8" code, while for the black group it was the "6-8/8-6" code. Results were discussed with regard to ethnicity, psychiatric diagnosis, and MMPI performance of ethnic/racial groups.
本研究的目的是比较在精神分裂症的精神病诊断上相匹配的西班牙裔、黑人及白人精神病人的明尼苏达多项人格测验（MMPI）表现。研究假设，来自一所戒备森严医院的不同种族患者群体，由于在精神病诊断上被等同对待，在13个MMPI量表中的任何一个上都不会有显著差异。第二个目的是检查每个种族群体最常出现的两点高分编码。结果表明，MMPI量表之间以及不同种族群体之间存在显著的多变量差异。在13个MMPI量表中的6个量表上，发现三个种族群体之间存在显著的单变量差异。西班牙裔和白人群体最常出现的两点高分编码是“8 - 2/2 - 8”编码，而黑人群体是“6 - 8/8 - 6”编码。针对种族、精神病诊断以及不同种族/民族群体的MMPI表现对结果进行了讨论。
