Deficits in gratification delay are associated with a broad range of public health problems, such as obesity, risky sexual behavior, and substance abuse. However, 6 decades of research on the construct has progressed less quickly than might be hoped, largely because of measurement issues. Although past research has implicated 5 domains of delay…

The survey investigated the problems of social desirability (SD), non-response bias (NRB) and reliability in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory--Revised (MMPI-2) self-report inventory administered to Brunei student teachers. Bruneians scored higher on all the validity scales than the normative US sample, thereby threatening the…

Peer reviewedVacha-Haase, Tammi; Kogan, Lori R.; Tani, Crystal R.; Woodall, Renee A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Used reliability generalization to explore the variance of scores on 10 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) clinical scales drawing on 1,972 articles in the literature on the MMPI. Results highlight the premise that scores, not tests, are reliable or unreliable, and they show that study characteristics do influence scores on the…

Peer reviewedChase, Terry V.; And Others – Adolescence, 1975
It has been the impression of the authors that a significant minority of MMPI profiles produced by adolescents suggest schizophrenia when such a process is not evident clinically. The present study was conducted in order to measure and better understand the frequency of false positive adolescent MMPI profiles. (Author)

Peer reviewedRussell, G. K. G.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1986
A computerized version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was developed that incorporated both administration and scoring. This method was compared with the original manual form. The results indicated that the test-retest reliability was high regardless of the method of administration and that similar results were obtained on the…
