The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of race (black, white) on the MMPI performance of alcoholic and nonalcoholic inpatients. Subjects were 73 (27 black, 46 white) male alcoholic inpatients and 73 (27 black, 46 white) male nonalcoholic psychiatric inpatients. While black and white alcoholics failed to differ on the MMPI, white alcoholics presented as less disturbed and black alcoholics as less defensive and distressed, compared to their respective nonalcoholic counterparts. Furthermore, only white alcoholics were accurately identified by the MMPI 2-4/4-2 high-point pair combination and only white alcoholics achieved more high-point pairs containing Scale 4 relative to nonalcoholic controls.
本研究的目的是调查种族(黑人、白人)对酒精成瘾和非酒精成瘾住院患者明尼苏达多相人格调查表(MMPI)测试结果的影响。研究对象为73名男性酒精成瘾住院患者(27名黑人,46名白人)和73名男性非酒精成瘾精神科住院患者(27名黑人,46名白人)。尽管黑人和白人酒精成瘾患者在MMPI测试结果上没有差异,但与各自的非酒精成瘾对应患者相比,白人酒精成瘾患者表现出的精神障碍较少,而黑人酒精成瘾患者表现出的防御性和痛苦程度较低。此外,只有白人酒精成瘾患者通过MMPI 2-4/4-2高分对组合被准确识别出来,并且与非酒精成瘾对照组相比,只有白人酒精成瘾患者获得了更多包含量表4的高分对。
