Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Personality research
  • Clinical psychology

Background:

  • Concerns regarding the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) research practices were raised by Butcher and Tellegen in 1978.
  • A review of MMPI-2 research published since 1990 was conducted to assess adherence to these earlier concerns and suggestions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the quality of MMPI-2 research conducted since 1990.
  • To provide updated guidelines for MMPI-2 research methodology.
  • To address ongoing debates within the MMPI-2 research field.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of MMPI-2 research literature from 1990 onwards.
  • Analysis of research practices concerning administration, sample description, validity assessment, score analysis, and result reporting.

  • Identification of key areas of debate in MMPI-2 research.

    • Main Results:

    • The review identified specific areas where MMPI-2 research practices could be improved.
    • Guidelines were developed for appropriate MMPI-2 test administration and interpretation.
    • Key research debates, including codetype comparability and scale validity, were highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Adherence to best practices in MMPI-2 research requires attention to methodological details.
