The construct and concurrent validity of the MMPI-2 Scale 2 Subtle and Obvious scales were examined for a group of 67 psychiatric inpatients. Validity coefficients for the Obvious scale were uniformly greater than those for the Full and Subtle scales. Subtle scale validity coefficients were negative and attenuated the validity of the Full clinical scale. Use of Obvious items resulted in more accurate prediction of assessed suicide risk, while inclusion of the Subtle items did not add any useful information in the prediction of assessed suicide risk or psychiatric diagnosis. It is recommended that future research that uses the MMPI-2 basic clinical scales examine the differential validity of the Subtle and Obvious scales.
对67名精神科住院患者组成的样本，检验了明尼苏达多项人格调查表第二版（MMPI - 2）量表2的细微和明显量表的结构效度及同时效度。明显量表的效度系数始终高于完整量表和细微量表。细微量表的效度系数为负，削弱了完整临床量表的效度。使用明显项目能更准确地预测评估的自杀风险，而纳入细微项目在预测评估的自杀风险或精神科诊断时并未增加任何有用信息。建议未来使用MMPI - 2基本临床量表的研究，检验细微量表和明显量表的差异效度。
