The Prediction of Impulsive Behavior: Comparative Validities of Obvious vs. Subtle MMPI Hypomania (MA) Items.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hovanitz, Christine A.; Gynther, Malcolm D. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1980

Hovanitz, Christine A.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Investigated the relationship between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory paranoia subtle, neutral, and obvious subscales and criteria presumed to reflect various paranoid characteristics in a sample of male college students (N=100).
