Racial Differences on the MMPI-2-RF in Women Prison Inmates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Past research findings have been mixed regarding racial disparities on the MMPI (c.f. Hall, Bansal, & Lopez, 1999). Considerable research exists that suggests there are differences between Blacks and Whites in diagnoses of mental illnesses. Black women have been reported to obtain higher scores than White women on scales L, F, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and lower scores than White women on scales K, 2, 3, and 9 (Hall et al, 1999). To date and to our knowledge, no studies have examined racial differences on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF).
