This study developed an MMPI scale to predict premature termination of patients from inpatient alcohol programming. MMPI responses of 93 male veterans hospitalized in a 4-week alcohol treatment program were item analyzed, and 21 items that differentiated Completers from Dropouts were selected. A classification accuracy rate of 91.36% was achieved in the standardization sample using a cut-off score of 8 and comparing only valid profiles. Classificatory accuracy of a cross validation sample (N = 90) was somewhat lower (75.34%). Face validity was absent, an indication of the scale's subtlety, and an analysis of scale items' Social Desirability Scale Values indicated that social desirability did not appear to influence item endorsement. Consistent differences between Completers and Dropouts were noted on Scales F and Sc, but not over other MMPI clinical scales, age, and race. Methodological issues and the use of the scale in alcohol treatment programming also were discussed.
本研究开发了一种明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）量表，用于预测住院酒精治疗项目患者的提前终止治疗情况。对93名在为期4周的酒精治疗项目中住院的男性退伍军人的MMPI回答进行了项目分析，并选取了21个区分完成治疗者和退出治疗者的项目。在标准化样本中，使用8分的临界分数并仅比较有效剖面图，分类准确率达到了91.36%。交叉验证样本（N = 90）的分类准确率略低（75.34%）。该量表缺乏表面效度，这表明了量表的微妙性，对量表项目的社会期望量表值的分析表明，社会期望似乎并未影响项目认可情况。在量表F和Sc上，完成治疗者和退出治疗者之间存在一致差异，但在其他MMPI临床量表、年龄和种族方面不存在差异。还讨论了方法学问题以及该量表在酒精治疗项目中的应用。
