In the current study, we examined the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2011) scores in a sample of 759 bariatric surgery candidates. We provide descriptives for all scales, internal consistency and standard error of measurement estimates for all substantive scales, external correlates of substantive scales using chart review and self-report criteria, and relative risk ratios to assess the clinical utility of the instrument. Results generally support the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of MMPI-2-RF scale scores in the psychological evaluation of bariatric surgery candidates. Limitations, future directions, and practical application of these results are discussed.
在本研究中,我们检验了明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版修订版(MMPI - 2 - RF;本 - 波拉特和泰勒根,2011)分数在759名减肥手术候选者样本中的信度、效度和临床实用性。我们提供了所有量表的描述性统计、所有实质性量表的内部一致性和测量估计标准误、使用病历审查和自我报告标准得出的实质性量表的外部关联,以及用于评估该工具临床实用性的相对风险比。结果总体上支持了MMPI - 2 - RF量表分数在减肥手术候选者心理评估中的信度、效度和临床实用性。本文还讨论了这些结果的局限性、未来方向及实际应用。
