Limited research has examined the link between Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory‐2‐Restructured Form (MMPI‐2‐RF) scales and contemporary personality and psychopathology models within correctional settings. This study focused on establishing construct validity of the MMPI‐2‐RF in offender samples from a broad personality framework. Two samples of incarcerated men and women completed a battery of broadband personality measures and narrowband measures that capture conceptually related constructs. To examine how MMPI‐2‐RF scale scores and criterion measures converged in a conjoint latent structure, we conducted a series of exploratory structural equation modelling analyses, which revealed factors similar to those of extant hierarchical personality models. At the broadband level, four factors (Positive Activation, Negative Affectivity, Inhibition and Agreeableness) were observed, whereas narrowband criteria yielded five factors (Behavioural Approach System, Disinhibition/Externalizing, Danger/Thrill Seeking, Self‐Assurance/Boldness, and Unemotionality/Coldheartedness). MMPI‐2‐RF scale scores converged with the personality/psychopathology models in a theoretically expected manner. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

明尼苏达州多相人格量表-2-重组形式量表分数在矫正环境中的构建效度

有限的研究检查了明尼苏达多相人格量表-2-重组形式（MMPI-2-RF）量表与矫正环境中的当代人格和精神病理学模型之间的联系。本研究的重点是在来自广泛人格框架的罪犯样本中建立 MMPI-2-RF 的结构效度。两个被监禁的男性和女性样本完成了一系列宽带人格测量和窄带测量，它们捕获了概念相关的结构。为了检查 MMPI-2-RF 量表分数和标准度量如何在联合潜在结构中收敛，我们进行了一系列探索性结构方程建模分析，揭示了与现有分层人格模型相似的因素。在宽带层面，四个因素（积极激活、消极情感、抑制和宜人性）被观察到，而窄带标准产生了五个因素（行为方法系统、去抑制/外化、危险/寻求刺激、自信/大胆和冷漠/冷酷）。MMPI-2-RF 量表分数以理论上预期的方式与人格/精神病理学模型收敛。讨论了未来研究的局限性和方向。© 2020 约翰威利父子公司
