There is currently a significant dearth of literature pertaining to the use of popular assessment instruments with ethnic minorities, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2. We examined standard MMPI-2 Scale scores from a sample of 508 male (n = 43 Asian Americans) and 665 female (n = 71 Asian Americans) missionary candidates, comparing scale means between ethnicities by gender and, for the Asian American participants, with the gendered MMPI-2 normative samples. Our within-sample findings support the existing literature with regard to Asian Americans obtaining higher mean scores than Whites for scales F, L, and D (among women), and scale Si (both men and women), while comparison with the MMPI-2 norms supported these findings for scales L and D. Other within-sample clinical scale differences were also observed, but mean scores for all these scales were in the modal range and do not suggest an ethnically distinct interpretive strategy. Religious and candidacy influences were a plausible explanation for most of the obtained validity scale means. However, among Asian American women, L scale elevations were significantly higher and may reflect the continuing relevance of ethnic considerations in evaluating MMPI-2 profile validity among even fairly acculturated women. Thus, our findings both support some of the existent research and validate the need for further studies of specific Asian American subgroups.

亚裔美国传教士候选人的 MMPI-2 概况:种族和人口规范的性别比较。

目前,关于使用流行的少数民族评估工具的文献非常缺乏,包括明尼苏达多相人格量表 (MMPI)-2。我们检查了来自 508 名男性(n = 43 名亚裔美国人)和 665 名女性(n = 71 名亚裔美国人)传教士候选人样本的标准 MMPI-2 量表分数,比较了不同种族之间按性别划分的量表平均值,对于亚裔美国人参与者,性别化的 MMPI-2 规范样本。我们的样本内发现支持现有文献,即亚裔美国人在 F、L ​​和 D(女性)和 Si(男性和女性)量表上获得比白人更高的平均分数,同时与 MMPI-2 进行比较规范支持 L 和 D 量表的这些发现。还观察到其他样本内临床量表差异,但所有这些量表的平均分数都在模态范围内,并不表明种族不同的解释策略。宗教和候选资格的影响是对大多数获得的效度量表均值的合理解释。然而,在亚裔​​美国女性中,L 量表的升高显着更高,这可能反映了种族因素在评估 MMPI-2 概况有效性时的持续相关性,即使是在相当有文化的女性中。因此,我们的研究结果既支持了一些现有的研究,又验证了对特定亚裔美国人亚群进行进一步研究的必要性。在亚裔美国女性中,L 量表的升高显着更高,这可能反映了种族因素在评估 MMPI-2 概况有效性时的持续相关性,即使是在相当文化化的女性中。因此,我们的研究结果既支持了一些现有的研究,又验证了对特定亚裔美国人亚群进行进一步研究的必要性。在亚裔美国女性中,L 量表的升高显着更高,这可能反映了种族因素在评估 MMPI-2 概况有效性时的持续相关性,即使是在相当文化化的女性中。因此,我们的研究结果既支持了一些现有的研究,又验证了对特定亚裔美国人亚群进行进一步研究的必要性。
