Present findings can be integrated with previous work by indicating that the A therapists were concerned with other people, feelings, and possible new ways of looking at things, whereas the Bs are more concerned with established facts and objects in the external world. (Author)

Twenty-six mildly distressed college student clients were assigned randomly to a nondirective or directive group. Internally oriented persons were more therapeutically responsive to the nondirective than to the directive approach, whereas the reverse tended to be the case among those more externally oriented.

Because of the still imperfectly understood basic factor structure of the MMPI, a Principal Components Analysis and Varimax Rotation was conducted on the MMPI item responses of 50 female undergraduate students of Education at Massey University. Eight factors were extracted. (Author)

Freshmen entering a large northeastern university in 1969 scored higher on the clinical MMPI scales than students transferring to the same university. Men and women freshmen each scored signigicantly higher on the paranoia, psychasthenia and schizophrenia scales than transfer students. Transfer students were thought to have progressed further…

The use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory as a psychodiagnostic measure for homosexuality and psychopathology is reviewed and discussed. The MMPI was administered to samples of non-patient homosexuals and heterosexuals enrolled in college. Results are discussed. (Author)

Adult follow-up information on social outcome variables was obtained for males who had taken the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) during their junior year. Individuals with undergraduate profiles indicative of psychopathology differed significantly in marital and educational status when compared to the no-high-point group 10…

The utility of employing elevated scores on the Depression and Psychasthenia scales of the MMPI as an indicator of a genuine, enduring clinical problem was investigated for a male college student population. Pilot data suggest that MMPI scale scores decrease following psychotherapy but not with the passage of time alone. (Author)

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scale scores from two samples of students were analyzed to determine their usefulness in moderating the prediction of college attrition. Scales that functioned as moderator variables were sample-specific and did not replicate. (Author)

In the late 1960s researchers noted signs of increased emotional impairment among college students. In 1974 Yankelovich reported indications of major reversals in the campus atmosphere suggesting a lessening of personal difficulties. Annual MMPI profiles of college males for 1965 to 1973 suggested changes in adjustment patterns supporting…

In a comparison of MMPI scores, male college students scored higher than females on all ten clinical scales with seven of these significant, indicating better adjustment in general for women. In regard…

Results indicated that Asian students when compared with control students, under-utilized the clinic services, possessed more pronounced MMPI scale elevations, and exhibited problems involving somatic complaints, family discord, and social introversion. (Author)

This study tested the predictive ability of MMPI scales to identify United States Air Force Academy freshmen who were "high risk" for problems of emotional adjustment and subsequent separation from the Academy. Rate of attrition and problems in emotional adaptation leading to separation were significantly greater in the high-risk group…

The relationship between the ratings students assigned to an evening undergraduate abnormal psychology class and their scores on objective personality tests and course examinations was investigated. Students (N=70) completed the MMPI and made global ratings of the course; these scores were correlated separately by sex with the T scores of 13 MMPI…
