The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- (MMPI-) based Cook-Medley Hostility scale (Cook & Medley, 1954) historically has been used to investigate links between personality factors and health outcomes. We assessed the dimensionality of 27 Cook-Medley items previously found to predict mortality using full-information maximum likelihood factor analysis. The factor analyses revealed that these items serve as indicators for several constructs, with some factors apparently reflecting word usage rather than a meaningful psychological dimension. Our analyses indicate that the psychological meaning of these (sub)scales is ambiguous and differs according to the respondent's gender. The findings are discussed in the context of evidence to support the construct validity of the scale and the implications of dimensionality for making inferences concerning the link among scale scores, personality factors, and health outcomes.
基于明尼苏达多相人格问卷（MMPI-）的库克-梅德利敌意量表（库克与梅德利，1954年）长期以来一直被用于研究人格因素与健康结果之间的联系。我们使用全信息极大似然因子分析评估了先前发现可预测死亡率的27个库克-梅德利项目的维度。因子分析表明，这些项目是几个结构的指标，一些因子显然反映的是词汇用法而非有意义的心理维度。我们的分析表明，这些（子）量表的心理意义不明确，且因受访者性别而异。研究结果在支持该量表结构效度的证据背景下进行了讨论，以及维度对于推断量表分数、人格因素和健康结果之间联系的影响。
