The MMPI and MMPI-2 were administered to White and Hispanic-American subjects. Multivariate analyses revealed significant differences for three main effects: test form, ethnicity, and gender. Two-way interactions between gender and test form and between gender and ethnicity were both significant, but the other two-way interaction (Test Form x Ethnicity) and the third-order interaction (Test Form x Ethnicity x Gender) were not significant. Univariate analyses comparing MMPI and MMPI-2 revealed significant differences on 12 of 13 scales, and comparison of Anglos and Hispanics resulted in significant differences on 4 scales. When Anglos and Hispanics taking the MMPI and MMPI-2 were compared, however, no significant differences on any scales occurred. Results suggest that, for these Hispanic subjects, the MMPI-2 introduces no new or additional differences and may be employed and interpreted essentially the same as the MMPI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
