We investigated whether Scale 2 (Depression [D]) and the Wiggins Content Scale of Depression (DEP) of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) have different clinical correlates when only one of these two scales is elevated. According, a group of patients who elevated DEP higher than Scale 2 (DEP > 2) were compared with a group of patients who elevated Scale 2 higher than DEP (2 > DEP). The patients with DEP > 2 were rated as being less severe than the patients with 2 > DEP on the following Brief Psychiatric Rating Scales: Somatic Concern (SOM), Emotional Withdrawal (WDRA), Depressive Mood (DEP), and Blunted Affect (AFF). The patients with DEP > 2 were rated as more severe on Excitement (EXC). The patients with DEP > 2 were more likely to receive the Axis I diagnoses of: bipolar disorder, manic, and alcohol abuse. Schizophrenia was equally probable for patients in the two groups. It appears that these two MMPI scales of depression have different clinical correlates when either one scale or the other is elevated.
我们研究了明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）的量表2（抑郁[D]）和威金斯抑郁内容量表（DEP）在只有其中一个量表升高时是否具有不同的临床关联。据此，将一组DEP量表得分高于量表2（DEP > 2）的患者与一组量表2得分高于DEP（2 > DEP）的患者进行了比较。在以下简明精神病评定量表上，DEP > 2的患者被评定为比2 > DEP的患者病情较轻：躯体关注（SOM）、情绪退缩（WDRA）、抑郁情绪（DEP）和情感迟钝（AFF）。DEP > 2的患者在兴奋（EXC）方面被评定为病情更严重。DEP > 2的患者更有可能被诊断为轴I障碍：双相情感障碍，躁狂发作，以及酒精滥用。两组患者患精神分裂症的可能性相同。当其中一个量表升高时，这两个MMPI抑郁量表似乎具有不同的临床关联。
