This study investigated MMPI characteristics of adult female outpatients in a behavior therapy clinic (N = 110). Those reporting histories of childhood sexual or physical abuse or both differed from those who did not on global Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Hathaway & McKinley, 1943) indices of psychopathology and on Scales F, K, L, 4, 7, and 8. Subjects reporting abuse also reported high rates of other early traumas: witnessing family violence, parental alcohol abuse, and parental divorce. Physical abuse history was the best predictor of adult maladjustment as assessed by the MMPI. Findings suggest the potential utility of the MMPI for assessing long-range trauma effects and highlight the importance of considering multiple early-risk factors for the development of psychological disturbance.
本研究调查了一家行为治疗诊所中成年女性门诊患者（N = 110）的明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI；哈撒韦和麦金利，1943）特征。那些报告有童年性虐待或身体虐待或两者皆有的患者，在心理病理学的总体明尼苏达多相人格调查表指标以及F、K、L、4、7和8量表上，与未报告此类经历的患者有所不同。报告有虐待经历的受试者还报告了其他早期创伤的高发生率：目睹家庭暴力、父母酗酒和父母离异。根据MMPI评估，身体虐待史是成年适应不良的最佳预测指标。研究结果表明MMPI在评估长期创伤影响方面具有潜在效用，并强调了考虑多种早期风险因素对心理障碍发展的重要性。
