The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service of the William S. Hall Psychiatric Institute, Columbia, South Carolina, routinely administers the MMPI to the parents of children and adolescents in outpatient psychiatric treatment. The MMPI data obtained from parents during the (1970-74) and (1975-79) periods (N = 342) have been analyzed from two perspectives. MMPI critical item endorsement and MMPI clinical scale changes have been evaluated statistically through a comparison of parents in the two time periods. Both the increase in clinical scale elevations and shift in critical item endorsement suggest a parent population in which mothers are suffering considerably more psychological distress or psychopathology than fathers during the last 5 years. The findings indicate the need for cross-clinic replications of the present investigation in order to establish the reliability of the current findings.
南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚市威廉·S·霍尔精神病学研究所的儿童与青少年精神病学服务部门，定期对接受门诊精神病治疗的儿童和青少年的父母进行明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）。已从两个角度分析了在1970 - 1974年和1975 - 1979年期间（N = 342）从父母那里获得的MMPI数据。通过比较两个时间段的父母，对MMPI关键项目认可情况和MMPI临床量表变化进行了统计评估。临床量表升高的增加和关键项目认可情况的转变都表明，在过去5年中，母亲群体比父亲群体遭受着更多的心理困扰或精神病理学问题。研究结果表明，需要在不同诊所重复本研究，以确定当前研究结果的可靠性。
