Validity of Five MMPI Alcoholism Scales: A Critique and Reanalysis.

Hays, Ron; Stacy, Alan

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v39 n3 p459-60 May 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.
