Peer reviewedHays, Ron; Stacy, Alan – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Critiqued and reanalyzed a recent study of the validity of five Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) alcoholism scales. The original study concluded that these scales were invalid in terms of classifying patients in regard to alcoholic status. Reanalysis provides evidence for the validity of four of the five scales.

Peer reviewedFriedman, Alan F.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1981
Constructed three new scales (neurotic, psychotic, and maladjustment overlap scales) to test the hypothesis that overlapping items of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales measure factors common to the criterion groups associated with the scales. Results support the hypothesis and the validity of the three new scales. (WAS)
