Book Description
Research on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and its revised version (MMPI-2) has generated a specific correlate literature associated with scale scores for college students and college counseling clients. This study aimed to establish correlates of the latest version of the MMPI, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) using a selfreport checklist of psychological/ personal, interpersonal, health, and academic problems. This study utilized a college counseling center sample (N=129) that consisted of clients who had completed both the MMPI-2 and the Problem Checklist. The MMPI-2-RF scores were derived from MMPI-2 item responses. Biserial correlations were computed to establish correlates of MMPI-2-RF Scale scores using checklist items. A large number of significant and conceptually appropriate correlates were generated for the MMPI-2-RF scales. Upon examination, the correlates found in this study provided an expansion for interpretation of MMPI-2-RF scales for college counseling students. This study found broad measures of emotional distress produced relatively larger numbers of correlates with large effect sizes, Overall, the nature and direction of the significant correlates were consistent with the measured constructs. Applications, contributions, and future research directions are discussed.
