The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent-Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF; Archer, Handel, Ben-Porath, & Tellegen, 2016) is a new broadband measure of adolescent psychopathology and personality. The MMPI-A-RF is the adolescent counterpart of the MMPI-2-RF (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011). The goal of the MMPI-2-RF development project was to capture the clinically significant substance of the MMPI-2 item pool with a psychometrically sound measure linked to contemporary models of personality and psychopathology (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011). Using the MMPI-2-RF scales and development methods as models, Archer et al. (2016) developed a 241-item adolescent self-report inventory-in contrast to the 478-items of the MMPI-A-that includes 48 new and revised scales. In this manuscript, I provide an overview of the rationale for the development of the MMPI-A-RF, an abbreviated review of its development process, brief descriptions of its 48 scales, and a subset of analyses bearing on reliability and validity. As with the MMPI-2-RF, one of our primary goals was to develop scales with improved discriminant validity relative to the heterogeneous Clinical Scales of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A. The MMPI-A-RF development process employed a large sample of 15,128 adolescents (9,286 boys and 5,842 girls) drawn from a variety of settings. In addition to the development sample, subsequent validation analyses were conducted in multiple independent samples including numerous external criterion measures. The MMPI-A-RF is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of adolescent psychopathology and personality in a wide array of clinical and forensic settings.
明尼苏达多相人格调查表-青少年-重构版（MMPI-A-RF；阿彻、汉德尔、本-波拉特和泰勒根，2016年）是一种用于测量青少年心理病理学和人格的新型广泛量表。MMPI-A-RF是MMPI-2-RF（本-波拉特和泰勒根，2008/2011年）的青少年对应版本。MMPI-2-RF开发项目的目标是通过一种与当代人格和心理病理学模型相关联的、心理测量学上合理的量表，来捕捉MMPI-2项目库中具有临床意义的实质内容（本-波拉特和泰勒根，2008/2011年）。以MMPI-2-RF量表和开发方法为模型，阿彻等人（2016年）编制了一份包含241个项目的青少年自陈量表——与包含478个项目的MMPI-A不同——其中包括48个新的和修订的量表。在本论文中，我概述了MMPI-A-RF的开发原理，简要回顾了其开发过程，对其48个量表进行了简要描述，并介绍了一些关于信度和效度的分析。与MMPI-2-RF一样，我们的主要目标之一是开发出比MMPI-2和MMPI-A的异质临床量表具有更高区分效度的量表。MMPI-A-RF的开发过程采用了来自各种环境的15128名青少年的大样本（9286名男孩和5842名女孩）。除了开发样本外，后续的效度分析还在多个独立样本中进行，包括众多外部标准测量。MMPI-A-RF旨在为广泛的临床和法医环境中的青少年心理病理学和人格提供全面评估。
