A validity study of Kleiger and Kinsman's MMPI alexithymia subscale was conducted upon a patient population of 56 migraine headache outpatients. Kleiger and Kinsman's initial research was replicated in terms of Beth Israel Hospital Psychosomatic Questionnaire (BIQ) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) assessment. Their results were not supported, and, instead, a trend towards an inverse relationship between BIQ ratings and MMPI subscale scores was reported. The findings of the study call into question the validity of the MMPI alexithymia subscale when applied to different patient populations than the respiratory disordered group used by Kleiger and Kinsman for the original MMPI subscale derivation.
对56名偏头痛门诊患者进行了克莱格和金斯曼明尼苏达多项人格调查表（MMPI）述情障碍分量表的效度研究。在贝斯以色列医院心身问卷（BIQ）和明尼苏达多项人格调查表（MMPI）评估方面重复了克莱格和金斯曼的初步研究。他们的结果未得到支持，相反，报告了BIQ评分与MMPI分量表得分之间呈负相关的趋势。该研究结果对MMPI述情障碍分量表应用于与克莱格和金斯曼最初推导MMPI分量表时所使用的呼吸系统疾病组不同的患者群体时的效度提出了质疑。
