This article presents the results of 2 studies conducted with Spanish versions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) with Latino students. Study 1 compared the results of 2 administrations of the MMPI-2, one in English and the other in Spanish. Study 2 compared the results of administrations of 2 Spanish versions of the MMPI-2, the official Mexican adaptation and the Ver...

UNLABELLED The domestic violence (physical or psychological, uni or bidirectional) poses questions about female victims' personality traits or mental disorders that facilitate the development of violence. A sample of 32 females between 20 and 65 years old was studied with the International Psychiatric Interview - Modified (MINI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2). AN...

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling occurs after myocardial infarction (MI), and the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to adverse LV remodeling after MI. Short-term pharmacological MMP inhibition (MMPi; days to weeks) in animal models of MI have demonstrated a reduction in adverse LV remodeling. However, the long-term effects (months) of MMPi on survival and LV remodeling after MI have n...

This study aims analysis predictors achievement results CBT UKMPPD which includes value report cards, TPA, MMPI, and Read Write Quran, GPA stage academic education, education professio...

Objective: To explore the psychometric properties of MMPI-adapted versions of the MMPI-2-RF’s RC and factor scales when applied to archival adolescent MMPI data. Method: We explored the internal consistency, temporal stability, and convergent and criterion validity of newly derived MMPI-adapted RC scales and MMPI-adapted higher-order factors (MMPI-ARC and MMPI-AF) using data from the first norm...

We examined the convergent validity of the Chinese Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI; Cheung, Leung, et al., 1996), an indigenously constructed measure, by comparing its patterns of correlations with the MMPI–2 (Butcher et al., 2001). A valid sample of 147 Chinese students took both the CPAI and the MMPI–2. Results provide preliminary support for the convergence between most of the CPAI cl...

The Response Bias Scale (RBS) and the Henry-Heilbronner Index (HHI) are two recently developed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity scales empirically derived for the purpose of detecting feigned symptom report. Utilizing a veteran sample, the present study examined the utility of these and other MMPI-2 validity scales in predicting Word Memory Test (WMT) failure and ...

The Response Bias Scale (RBS) has been found to be a better predictor of over-reported memory complaints than Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) F, Back Infrequency (Fb), Infrequency-Psychopathology (Fp), and FBS scales. The MMPI-2-Restructured Form (RF) validity scales were designed to meet or exceed the sensitivity of their MMPI-2 counterparts to symptom over-reporting. Th...

Studies on MMPI and MMPI-2 malingering indexes often sacrifice generalizability in an attempt to control internal validity. This study improves external validity while still maintaining internal validity by providing graduate student participants with a realistic context for malingering on the MMPI-2 (n=94) and MMPI (n=30). Contextual parameters include a realistic life predicament, psychologic...

BACKGROUND A potential mechanism for left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is activation of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This study examined the effects of MMP inhibition (MMPi) on regional LV geometry and MMP levels after MI. METHODS AND RESULTS In pigs instrumented with radiopaque markers to measure regional myocardial geometry, MI was created by ligatin...
