Use of the MMPI to Identify Subtypes of Delinquent Adolescents.
Lueger, Robert J.; Hoover, Lou
Journal of Clinical Psychology, v40 n6 p1493-95 Nov 1984
Assessed the utility of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) to identify and distinguish among subtypes of delinquent adolescents (N=50). Behavior ratings were used to classify three delinquent subtypes--conduct problem, anxious-withdrawn, and a group with neither feature. Only the Hs scale differed significantly between the first two groups. (JAC)
