Abstract

The authors studied the ability of the Kincannon Mini-Mult validity scales to detect invalid standard MMPI protocols of adult male prisoners. The original MMPI records of 1407 Ss were rescored by use of Kincannon's items for the L, F, and K Scales. Analysis consisted of examining the frequency with which the Mini-Mult would detect an invalid protocol when at least one of the original MMPI validity scales also was elevated and invalid. Results indicate that the Mini-Mult failed to detect nearly 75% of the profiles that were invalid due to an elevated F scale on the parent MMPI. Similarly, over 50% of the profiles invalid due to elevated L and/or K scales were not detected by the Mini-Mult. Despite the appealing brevity of this 71-item short form of the MMPI, caution is advised with regard to its use in penal settings.

摘要

作者研究了金坎农迷你多项效度量表检测成年男性囚犯无效标准明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）结果的能力。使用金坎农的项目对1407名受试者的原始MMPI记录重新计分，用于L、F和K量表。分析内容包括，当原始MMPI效度量表中至少有一个升高且无效时，研究迷你多项量表检测无效结果的频率。结果表明，由于原始MMPI上F量表升高而无效的结果中，迷你多项量表未能检测出近75%。同样，因L和/或K量表升高而无效的结果中，超过50%未被迷你多项量表检测到。尽管这份71项的MMPI简短形式很吸引人，但在刑罚环境中使用时建议谨慎。
