The aim of the current study was to examine the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008) scales in assessing () Section II Personality Disorder (PD) symptoms. For this purpose, we first tested the cross-cultural factorial and criterion validity of MMPI-2-RF scales. We used a sample of 536 (327 women and 209 men) community individuals in Tehran, Iran. Section II PD criterion counts were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for -Screening Personality Questionnaire. Exploratory structural equation modelling analyses revealed that the models reported by Ben-Porath and Tellegen generally fitted the data well. Criterion validity of the MMPI-2-RF scales as well as MMPI-2-RF PDs spectra scales were analyzed with respect to their correlations with Section II PDs, indicating results generally consistent with expectations. Results based on Poisson or Negative binomial regression models indicated that a set of MMPI-2-RF scale hypotheses were supported, with several exceptions that are discussed in detail. These findings have implications for applicability of the MMPI-2-RF across Iranian population.
本研究旨在探讨明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版修订本（MMPI-2-RF；Ben-Porath & Tellegen，2008）量表在评估（）第二人格障碍（PD）症状中的作用。为此，我们首先测试了 MMPI-2-RF 量表的跨文化因素和效标效度。我们使用了伊朗德黑兰的 536 名（327 名女性和 209 名男性）社区个体的样本。使用人格问卷筛查结构临床访谈对第二人格障碍的标准计数进行评估。探索性结构方程模型分析表明，Ben-Porath 和 Tellegen 报告的模型通常很好地拟合数据。使用与第二人格障碍的相关性分析了 MMPI-2-RF 量表以及 MMPI-2-RF PD 光谱量表的效标效度，结果与预期基本一致。基于泊松或负二项回归模型的结果表明，一组 MMPI-2-RF 量表假设得到了支持，但也有一些例外情况，我们将详细讨论这些情况。这些发现对 MMPI-2-RF 在伊朗人群中的适用性具有重要意义。
