Child welfare agencies and legal authorities have frequently turned to psychologists to conduct parental competency assessments (PCA) to inform decisions aimed to advocate the best interests of children and protect them from maltreatment. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory–Third Edition (MCMI-III) is an empirically supported measure that is commonly used in the context of these examinations. This study compared the MCMI-III performance of an American-based PCA sample with previously published studies in the civil parenting literature and further explored differences across gender groups. Results revealed subclinical elevations in the “normal quartet” that were generally consistent with child custody litigants (CCE) and non-American PCA examinees in previous studies. The PCA sample produced higher rates of psychiatric pathology as compared to the CCE sample and the clinical population more generally. American and non-American PCA examinees endorsed similar rates of pathology, though American PCA examinees produced significantly higher scores on Antisocial and Drug Dependence scales. Results are suggestive of demographic differences that may account for inconsistent findings across studies.

MCMI-III在父母能力评估中的效用

儿童福利机构和法律当局经常求助于心理学家进行父母能力评估(PCA),以告知旨在维护儿童最大利益并保护他们免受虐待的决策。Millon临床多轴清单第三版(MCMI-III)是经验支持的方法,通常在这些检查中使用。这项研究将美国PCA样本的MCMI-III性能与公民养育文献中先前发表的研究进行了比较,并进一步探讨了性别群体之间的差异。结果显示,“正常四重奏”中的亚临床升高通常与先前研究中的儿童监护权诉讼人(CCE)和非美国PCA考生一致。与CCE样本和临床人群相比,PCA样本产生更高的精神病理学发病率。尽管美国PCA考生在“反社会和药物依赖性”量表上的得分明显更高,但美国和非美国PCA考生的病理学比率也相似。结果表明人口统计学差异可能解释了研究之间不一致的发现。
