The purpose of this investigation is to provide descriptive information on veteran response styles for a variety of VA referral types using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), which has well-supported protocol validity scales. The sample included 17,640 veterans who were administered the MMPI-2-RF between when it was introduced to the VA system in 2013 until May 31, 2015 at any VA in the United States. This study examines frequencies of protocol invalidity based on the MMPI-2-RF's validity scales and provides comprehensive descriptive findings on validity scale scores within the VA. Three distinct trends can be seen. First, a majority of the sample did not elevate any of the validity scales beyond their recommended interpretive cut-scores, indicating that scores on the substantive scales would be deemed valid and interpretable in those cases. Second, elevation rates are higher for the overreporting scales in comparison to the underreporting and non-content-based invalid responding scales. Lastly, a majority of those with an elevation on one overreporting validity indicator also had an elevation on at least one other overreporting scale. Implications for practice and the utility of the MMPI-2-RF within the VA are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

在老兵事务设置中观察到的MMPI-2-重组表（MMPI-2-RF）有效性量表评分模式。

这项研究的目的是使用明尼苏达州多相人格问卷（MMPI）-2-重组表（MMPI-2-RF）提供有关各种VA推荐人类型的退伍军人反应风格的描述性信息，该协议具有很好的协议有效性秤。该样本包括17,640名退伍军人，他们在2013年被引入VA系统时至2015年5月31日在美国的任何VA处接受MMPI-2-RF。这项研究基于MMPI-2-RF的有效性量表检查了协议无效的频率，并提供了有关VA内有效性量表评分的全面描述性发现。可以看到三个不同的趋势。首先，大多数样本并未将任何有效性量表提升至超出其建议的解释性分数，表示在这些情况下，实质性量表的分数将被视为有效且可解释。其次，与低报和非基于内容的无效响应量表相比，高报量表的提升率更高。最后，大多数在一个过度报告有效性指标上升高的人也至少在另一个过度报告量表上具有升高。讨论了VA中MMPI-2-RF的实践意义和实用性。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。在一个过度报告有效性指标上升高的大多数人也至少在另一个过度报告规模上具有升高。讨论了VA中MMPI-2-RF的实践意义和实用性。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。在一个过度报告有效性指标上升高的大多数人，其至少另一个过度报告比例也有升高。讨论了VA中MMPI-2-RF的实践意义和实用性。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
