This study examined statistical bias in the measurement of personality psychopathology in the Latinx population using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3). Data were extracted from two studies that yielded a composite data set of 103 White individuals and 250 Latinx individuals. All participants were administered the MMPI-2-Restructured Form-Extended Battery (MMPI-2-RF-EX) or MMPI-3 and the Personality Inventory for the -5 Short Form (PID-5-SF). First, we conducted correlation analyses between theoretically overlapping scales of the PID-5-SF and the MMPI-3 among White and Latinx individuals. The majority of theoretically associated scales were found to be at least moderately associated in the total sample. In addition, Steiger's -tests indicated that correlations were similar in magnitude across the White and Latinx ethnic groups. Hierarchical regression subsequently determined the presence of slope and/or intercept bias. Only one analysis (the MMPI-3 Anger Proneness prediction of PID-5-SF Negative Affectivity) indicated statistically significant intercept bias. No evidence of slope bias was found. In other words, these analyses indicated that the vast majority of the relationships between MMPI-3 scales and associated personality psychopathology constructs (as measured by the PID-5-SF) remained consistent across both ethnic groups. Overall, the results supported the appropriate cross-cultural use of the MMPI-3 to assess personality psychopathology.
本研究使用明尼苏达多相人格问卷-3（MMPI-3）检验了拉丁裔人群人格精神病理学测量中的统计偏差。数据取自两项研究，得出了一个包含103名白人个体和250名拉丁裔个体的综合数据集。所有参与者均接受了明尼苏达多相人格问卷-2 修订版扩展量表（MMPI-2-RF-EX）或MMPI-3以及五因素人格简式量表（PID-5-SF）的测试。首先，我们在白人和拉丁裔个体中对PID-5-SF和MMPI-3理论上重叠的量表进行了相关分析。在总样本中，大多数理论上相关的量表至少具有中度相关性。此外，斯泰格检验表明，白人和拉丁裔种族群体之间的相关性在大小上相似。随后的分层回归确定了斜率和/或截距偏差的存在。只有一项分析（MMPI-3愤怒倾向对PID-5-SF消极情感性的预测）显示出具有统计学意义的截距偏差。未发现斜率偏差的证据。换句话说，这些分析表明，MMPI-3量表与相关人格精神病理学结构（由PID-5-SF测量）之间的绝大多数关系在两个种族群体中保持一致。总体而言，结果支持MMPI-3在跨文化评估人格精神病理学方面的适当应用。
