The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) was administered to 270 adult outpatients with major affective disorders at the same time that a semistructured, diagnostic interview was conducted by a clinician. The mood of the patient was then rated, and the clinician completed the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Mania Rating Scale. A consensual diagnosis was arrived at by the team of investigators using DSM-III criteria. Significant correlations were found between four MCMI affective scales and the global mood state of the patient. Analysis of covariance indicated that the MCMI affective scales are significantly related to DSM-III affective disorders even after the effect of the current mood of the patient is partialled out. The clinical usefulness of each of the scales is discussed.
在由一名临床医生进行半结构化诊断访谈的同时，对270名患有重度情感障碍的成年门诊患者施测了米隆临床多轴问卷（MCMI）。然后对患者的情绪进行评分，临床医生完成汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表和躁狂评定量表。研究团队根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）标准得出了一致性诊断。发现MCMI四个情感量表与患者的整体情绪状态之间存在显著相关性。协方差分析表明，即使排除了患者当前情绪的影响，MCMI情感量表仍与DSM-III情感障碍显著相关。文中还讨论了每个量表的临床实用性。
