Abstract: | The MMPI-2 was administered to 288 college students (178 women and 110 men) between the ages of 18 and 34 years. Scores on
the basic 13 (three validity and ten clinical) scales were correlated and subjected to principal component analyses separately
for men and women. In each case, four factors were retained and subjected to varimax rotation. Coefficients of congruence
were calculated for all possible pairs of factors across two samples of college students and the normative adults, separately
for men and women, and across genders within each sample. Results indicated that the factorial structure of the MMPI-2 basic
scales seemed to possess considerable uniformity across samples and genders, but not without some notable exceptions. |
