Predicting Prison Adjustment with Structured Personality Inventories.

Carbonell, Joyce L.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n2 p280-94 Apr 1984

Investigated the degree to which the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) could predict criteria of adjustment to prison in 1,313 inmates. Results showed that neither the MMPI or CPI scales were accurate enough to be used alone for individual actuarial prediction. (LLL)
