“…The range of test-retest reliability (.55-.93) indicated good stability of scores over multiple administrations of the instrument. These results are similar to other validated instruments used to measure youth mental health problems such as the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (Millon, Green, & Meagher, 1982) and the Child Behaviour Checklist-Youth Self Report (Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1983). These instruments contained subscales that were parallel to the MAYSI-2 subscales.…”

Objective. Juvenile arson offenders have received increasing attention due to the high human and financial cost of arson in the USA. This study examines the similarities and differences between male and female juvenile arson offenders regarding family crisis, school issues, mental health, family characteristics, crime descriptions, and past delinquency. Method. The sample consists of 217 male and 114 female juveniles charged with an arson‐related charge from a large southern state over a 5‐year period from 2000 to 2005. Results. Female juvenile arsonists more often reported a significant crisis within their family in the past year when compared to male juvenile arsonists. Most of the juvenile arson offenders attended school regularly but girls had greater issues with tardiness or truancy than boys. Girl arsonists more often reported a history of childhood abuse, higher scores on a suicide ideation scale and were more likely to set fire at school. Boy arsonists were more likely to have greater mental health problems, report gang involvement, a history of prior delinquency and prior arson, and were found to set fires at their residence when compared to girl arsonists. Instrumental versus expressive reasons for the arson behaviour are discussed. Conclusion. These findings suggest strongly that boy and girls arson offenders are dissimilar enough to require unique assessment and treatment.

“…Most studies (n ¼ 11) used multiple-item measures of emotional self-regulation (e.g., regulation of effect, attention, and behavior) and included measures of self-control such as the Behavior Problems Index [93] and impulsivity such as the Millon Impulse Control Scale [94]. Two of these studies used measures of impulsivity specifically relating to condom use [95,96] and one study used a single-item measure [19].…”

“…The Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI; Millon, , 2006) is a 160-item self-report measure used to assess a broad range of psychological problems in adolescents ages 13-19. Theoretically and structurally, the MACI aligns more closely with its adult counterpart-the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III; Millon & Davis, 1997)-than its predecessor-the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI; Millon, Green, & Meagher, 1982). Similar to its adult counterpart, the MACI was developed to accurately assess a wide range of psychological problems to facilitate diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome measurement in clinical populations (Millon, , 2006.…”

Prior empirical examinations of the factor structure of the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI; Millon, 1993, 2006) have produced mixed results and have not included confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In this study, we examined the internal structure of the MACI in a sample of 1,015 detained adolescent boys (ages 13 to 19). The sample was randomly divided into independent samples. Replication of prior factor models was first attempted in one half (n = 505) of the sample (Sample 1) and disconfirmed these models on the current data. An exploratory factor analysis was then conducted and revealed a 2-factor model representing internalizing and externalizing dimensions. Next, CFA was conducted with Sample 2 (n = 510) and revealed acceptable fit when the model was revised to include correlated error terms among certain scales and factor cross-loadings. Implications for the use of the MACI with adolescents as well as directions for future research are discussed.
