AbstractCurrent adolescent norms for the MMPI are based on data obtained 25 to 45 years ago, from samples established in 1947 to 1957 and 1964 to 1965 (Marks&Briggs, 1967). Recently, MMPIs from 1,315 normal adolescent females and males, aged 13 through 17 years, were gathered from a threestate midwest area. There were significant differences between contemporary adolescent MMPI response patterns and those obtained from the earlier adolescent samples. This article presents new K‐corrected normalized T‐score conversion tables to encourage research that compares the relative efficacy of profiles calculated with and without K correct

摘要:

AbstractWe developed a MMPI alcoholism scale based on adult medical patient samples. Our criterion group consisted of 736 inpatients (525 males; 211 females) diagnosed as having alcoholism according to DSM‐III criteria. Three contrast samples that totaled 13,120 individuals were used for control purposes. MMPI items were chosen by means of logistic regression. The 33 items yielded by this procedure formed a provisional scale (CAL, for common alcoholism logistic) that worked equally well for males and females. With new cross‐validation samples, with sensitivity (proportion of alcoholics correctly identified) set at 90%, the specificity (proportion of nonalcoholics correctly identified) ranged from 90% to 96% for selected contrast samples. We conclude that this scale shows promise as a screening device in similar populati

摘要:

AbstractFour hundred sixty‐four children in grades K‐8 of an urban school were tested in order to develop norms, check for the presence of developmental trends, and compare the performance of different demographic groups on the Hand Test. Comparisons across grade, race, sex, and socioeconomic class indicated that separate norms for grades, but single norms for race, sex, and socioeconomic levels are appropriate for elementary school children. Discrepancies in the developmental trends raised concern about the validity of indices of psychopathology especially as they apply to children in grades

摘要:

AbstractThe present study examined the concurrent validity of the newest version of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) with the Student Adaptation College Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 142 college students at a midwestern, technically oriented university. Significant differences in the expected directions were found between higher and lower adjusted students with regard to Gough's (1987) new control (p<.001), flexibility (p<.003), and consensuality (p<.005) factors and also with respect to the new norm‐favoring (p<.01) and self‐realization (p<.008) thematic vectors of the revised

摘要:

AbstractThis study assessed the effectiveness of the MMPI in differentiating four clinically relevant types of depression. MMPI profiles of 53 subjects with major depression and personality disorder, 44 subjects with other depression and personality disorder, 27 subjects with major depression without personality disorder, and 20 subjects with other depression without personality disorder were compared via MANOVA, highpoint pair analysis, and discriminant analysis. The instrument was found somewhat effective in differentiating the groups at a statistically significant level, but the differences were too subtle to be considered clinically useful. Thus, while the MMPI has some usefulness in the differential diagnosis of depression, it is best used in conjunction with other test data and relevant historical data.

摘要:

AbstractThe Carbon Monoxide Neuropsychological Screening Battery (CONSB) was developed to improve the neurological assessment of CO‐poisoned patients in an emergency setting. Traditional assessment methods (clinical examination and carboxyhemoglobin [CoHb] levels) readily can identify unconscious, severely involved patients; however, many CO‐intoxicated patients with cerebral impairment who also require aggressive hyperbaric oxygen therapy are assessed inadequately by such methods. Administration of the CONSB to 66 CO‐poisoned: patients and 66 volunteer controls revealed significant differences in performance between the two groups. It was concluded that the CONSB enhanced the accuracy of the evaluation of cerebrally impaired CO‐poisoned patients. Failure to assess the cerebral functioning of patients exposed to CO and to identify those who require aggressive oxygen therapy could have neurological s

摘要:

AbstractDespite awareness that depression may affect performance on commonly used neuropsychological tests, little research has been conducted on the relative impact of severity and type of depression on higher problem‐solving ability. Major depressives (n= 13), dysthymics (n= 17), and non‐psychiatric comparison subjects (n= 18) were administered the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Although diagnostic category was related only marginally to some WCST measures after controlling for intellectual function, depressive symptom severity emerged as an independent predictor of Total Errors, Perseverative Responses, and Failure to Maintain Set. These findings lend support to the suggestion that neuropsychological test batteries should include assessment for depression and suggest that even relatively mild depression may affect WCST sco

摘要:

AbstractResults of an hierarchical factor analysis with university students (N= 101) do not support the construct validity of the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB). Although the MAB Full Scale IQ seems to be a valid measure of general mental ability, the construct validity of the Verbal and Performance scale IQs is not supported. Therefore, the Verbal and Performance IQs should be interpreted with caution, if at all. In addition, re‐analysis of previous investigations of the MAB underscores the importance of ascertaining the reading level of subjects prior to the administration of the MAB. Marginal reading proficiency, especially on a timed paper‐and‐pencil test such as the MAB, will confound re

摘要:

AbstractAn equally weighted WPPSI short‐form (Comprehension, Arithmetic, Block Design, and Picture Completion) was administered to 64 prekindergarten children, while a verbally weighted WPPSI short‐form (Comprehension, Arithmetic, Block Design, and Vocabulary) was administered to 63 prekindergarten children. All subjects subsequently were administered school achievement tests at the end of the first‐ and second‐grade years. Low, but significant correlations between the FSIQ and achievement test scores were obtained; the Arithmetic and Block Design subtests were the best subtest predictors of school achievement in grades one and two. The predictive validities of the two WPPSI short‐forms were found to be essentially e
