Many clinicians have come to rely on the broad array of validity scales available on the MMPI and the MMPI-2. In this study, we evaluated the utility of 2 MMPI-2 validity scales, the K scale and VRIN scale, in a sample of 692 psychiatric inpatients. Specifically, the effects of the K-correction procedure and the exclusion of protocols based on VRIN scale elevations were examined on the relation between MMPI-2 basic clinical scales and external criteria including both self-report and clinician ratings of psychopathology. Results indicated that the K-correction procedure commonly used with the MMPI and MMPI-2 did not result in higher correlations with external criteria in comparison to non-K-corrected scores. In contrast, MMPI-2 protocols that produced VRIN T-score values > or = 80 generally produced lower correlations with patients self-reports and clinician ratings of psychopathology in comparison to protocols judged to be valid based on VRIN scale results.
许多临床医生已经开始依赖明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）和明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版（MMPI - 2）中可用的一系列效度量表。在本研究中，我们在692名精神科住院患者样本中评估了MMPI - 2的两个效度量表，即K量表和VRIN量表的效用。具体而言，研究了K校正程序以及基于VRIN量表升高排除测验记录对MMPI - 2基本临床量表与外部标准（包括精神病理学的自我报告和临床医生评分）之间关系的影响。结果表明，与未进行K校正的分数相比，MMPI和MMPI - 2常用的K校正程序并未导致与外部标准的相关性更高。相反，与基于VRIN量表结果判断为有效的测验记录相比，VRIN T分数值≥80的MMPI - 2测验记录通常与患者的自我报告和临床医生对精神病理学的评分相关性较低。
