Structural Analysis of Content Scales and Personality Disorder Scales of MMPI

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find psychopathological factors and personality-dimensions which were assessed by MMPI, and to examine the construct validity of content scales and personality disorder scales. For this purpose, the degree and nature of intercorrelation among scales were investigated by using correlation and factor analysis of standard validity, clinical scales, content scales and personality disorder scales in MMPI. The results showed that 3 factors were extracted in standard scales, 2 factors in content scales, 3 factors in personality disorder scales, and 6 factors in combining these scales, Also, the number and structure of factors are compartively consistent by groups and sex. These results suggest that the specification and clarity of interpretation of MMPI may be improved. This study may be helpful to expand the application of the MMPI and obtain additive various informations.
