Measured Acculturation and MMPI-168 Performance of Native American Adults.

Hoffmann, Tom; And Others

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v16 n2 p243-56 Jun 1985

To test the hypothesis that acculturation influences the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) performance of Native Americans, an instrument was developed to measure five components of acculturation. When both the acculturation instrument and the MMPI-168 were administered to 69 Rosebud Sioux, results confirmed the hypothesis. Thus, caution should be used in interpreting the MMPI profiles of Native Americans. (KH)
