Sex offenders are known to be heterogeneous in their patterns of personality functioning and behavior. The present study conducted a multivariate cluster analysis on the MMPIs of 120 incarcerated adult male rapists. The analysis resulted in the identification of five MMPI profile subgroups. Additional differences among subgroups were identified in the circumstances of the crime and responses to the Multiphasic Sex Inventory. Levels of psychopathology, as indicated by the MMPI, ranged from slight to extreme. Results are discussed with reference to previous MMPI research with sex offenders. Suggestions for future research are offered.
已知性犯罪者在人格功能和行为模式上具有异质性。本研究对120名被监禁的成年男性强奸犯的明尼苏达多相人格调查表(MMPI)进行了多变量聚类分析。分析结果识别出五个MMPI剖面图亚组。在犯罪情节和对多相性量表的反应方面,亚组之间还存在其他差异。MMPI所显示的精神病理学程度从轻微到极端不等。结合先前对性犯罪者的MMPI研究对结果进行了讨论。并提出了未来研究的建议。
