- Abstract
MACI's performance in general (n = 391) and clinical (n = 226) population of adolescents is analyzed, establishing, for each scale, the cutoff score which allows the best discrimination between these two groups. Results show that most scales (85%) have a good discrimination power with adequate sensibility and specificity indexes. But, Submissive, Social Insensibility, Delinquent Predisposition and Anxious Feelings scales show a poor discrimination power. Also, against theory, for Dramatizing, Egotistic, Conforming and Sexual Disconfort scales, the lower scores indicate pathology. The MACI's applicability for screening cases at risk is valued, and the possible influence of cultural variables in the responses to some scales is analyzed.
