This study investigated the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity, clinical, restructured clinical, supplementary, and content scales in a female correctional population. The study used archival data for a final sample of 116 women who had been evaluated for acceptance into a residential rehabilitative treatment program for nonviolent female offenders in North Carolina. MMPI-2 scale elevations are reported and assessed for predictive validity in relation to treatment success, as measured by treatment attendance and graduation status. In relation to predictive validity, logistic regression analyses revealed that elevations on Scales FRS (Fears) and R (Repression) differentiated women who attended the program from women who did not. Elevations on Scales 4, DEP (Depression), Re (Responsibility), and AAS (Addiction Admission Scale) differentiated women who graduated the program from women who did not. Implications for the rehabilitation of female offenders, as well as limitations of this exploratory study, are discussed.
本研究调查了明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版（MMPI - 2）在女性惩教人群中的效度、临床量表、重组临床量表、补充量表和内容量表。该研究使用了档案数据，最终样本为116名女性，她们曾接受评估，以确定是否能被北卡罗来纳州一个针对非暴力女性罪犯的住宿康复治疗项目录取。报告了MMPI - 2量表的得分情况，并评估了其与治疗成功的预测效度，治疗成功以治疗出勤率和毕业状态来衡量。关于预测效度，逻辑回归分析显示，FRS（恐惧）量表和R（压抑）量表得分较高的女性区分了参加该项目的女性和未参加的女性。4量表、DEP（抑郁）量表、Re（责任）量表和AAS（成瘾接纳量表）得分较高的女性区分了完成该项目的女性和未完成的女性。讨论了对女性罪犯康复的启示以及这项探索性研究的局限性。
