- Title
AN EXTERNAL CRITERION STUDY OF THE MMPI VALIDITY INDICES.
- Authors
Johnson, James H.; Klingler, Daniel E.; Williams, Thomas A.
- Abstract
This article focuses on external criterion study of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) validity indices. Recently, a new use for the validity indices has become evident: the determination of general information-giving attitudes. This use has been suggested as a result of technological changes in mental health care delivery whereby more cost and time-efficient approaches to information gathering are being implemented. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the MMPI validity indices could be used to estimate information-giving attitudes in a psychiatric population during structured interviews and, thus, to provide guidance as to whether the mental status interview should proceed.
