The incremental contribution of the MMPI-2 Content Scales to the prediction of scores on self-report measures of personality and psychopathology was investigated. The MMPI-2, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Personality Inventory, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised were administered to 596 subjects: 339 women and 257 men. Zero-order correlational analyses indicated that both clinical and Content Scales correlated with each of the criterion measures. In all but one case, an MMPI-2 Content Scale was found to have the highest correlation with the extratest variables. Combined hierarchical, stepwise regression analyses demonstrated that the MMPI-2 Content Scales possess incremental validity vis-à-vis the clinical scales for both genders in relation to all of the criterion measures. Additional analyses indicated that the MMPI-2 clinical scales also possess incremental validity vis-à-vis the Content Scales. However, the incremental contribution of the clinical scales was of lesser magnitude. Implications of these findings for test interpretation and future research with the MMPI-2 are discussed.
研究了明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版（MMPI - 2）内容量表对人格和精神病理学自陈量表分数预测的增量贡献。对596名受试者施测了MMPI - 2、贝克抑郁量表、状态 - 特质人格量表和症状自评量表90修订版，其中女性339名，男性257名。零阶相关分析表明，临床量表和内容量表均与各效标测量相关。除一例之外，均发现MMPI - 2内容量表与测验外变量的相关性最高。综合分层逐步回归分析表明，就所有效标测量而言，MMPI - 2内容量表相对于临床量表对两性均具有增量效度。进一步分析表明，MMPI - 2临床量表相对于内容量表也具有增量效度。然而，临床量表的增量贡献较小。讨论了这些发现对MMPI - 2测验解释和未来研究的意义。
