Many adolescent inpatients with antisocial traits on the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI) persist in these behaviors. Higher parental psychopathology and negative prognoses were linked to persistent antisocial tendencies in adolescents.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescent disruptive behavior disorders are a significant clinical concern.
  • Assessing treatment amenability in adolescents is crucial for effective intervention.
  • The Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI) is a tool used in adolescent psychological assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the persistence of elevated scores on Scale 6 (forceful/antisocial) of the MAPI in adolescent inpatients.
  • To identify factors differentiating adolescents with persistent elevated Scale 6 scores from those whose scores normalize.
  • To evaluate the MAPI's utility in predicting treatment amenability for disruptive behavior disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal assessment of 81 adolescent inpatients with elevated admission MAPI Scale 6 scores.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of subjects with persistent elevated scores (High 6) versus those with normalized scores (Low 6) on demographic and clinical variables.
  • Discriminant function analysis using MAPI admission scores to classify subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • Over half (54.32%) of adolescents with elevated admission MAPI Scale 6 scores maintained these elevated scores at discharge.
    • The High 6 group showed significantly higher parental psychopathology, larger family size, and poorer prognoses compared to the Low 6 group.
    • Discriminant function analysis achieved 76.54% correct classification of subjects into High 6 and Low 6 groups based on admission MAPI scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent antisocial tendencies, as measured by the MAPI, are common in adolescent inpatients.
    • Family environment and parental psychopathology are associated with the persistence of these behaviors.
    • The MAPI shows potential as a tool to assess treatment amenability in adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders.
